more and more of a survival mechanism

is not that it sounds good.

And it's there always.

You just need to harness it.

[Batiste laughs] Hey!

55
00:05:27,744 --> 00:05:30,830
I heard you thinkin' about those Grammys.
Are you gonna represent?

56
00:05:30,913 --> 00:05:33,625
Oh, my goodness, I thought it was like
an SNL bit or something

57
00:05:33,708 --> 00:05:36,210
when the people were saying,
"Jon Batiste,

58
00:05:36,293 --> 00:05:39,922
Jon Batiste, Folk Americana,
Jon Batiste, Classical,

59
00:05:40,006 --> 00:05:43,092

to prove a point or what?

60
00:05:43,175 --> 00:05:45,887
And you're bringing
so much joy to all of us

61
00:05:45,970 --> 00:05:50,558
because you're gonna be doing
American Symphony at Carnegie Hall.

62
00:05:50,642 --> 00:05:56,648
Well, I just am honored to be able
to present something so-- so large-scale

63
00:05:56,731 --> 00:06:00,109
and, um, you know, it's my first time
doing a symphony premiere,

64
00:06:00,192 --> 00:06:04,030
and it's really special because for me,
a symphony can be

65
00:06:04,113 --> 00:06:07,909
something we haven't seen before
and that's what the goal of this is.

66
00:06:07,992 --> 00:06:14,416
Basically like, okay, so if
a Symphony Orchestra was created in 2022,

67
00:06:14,499 --> 00:06:15,750
what would that be?

68
00:06:15,833 --> 00:06:18,461
What would the music
that it played sound like?

69
00:06:18,545 --> 00:06:20,672
You'd have classical musicians
in there, for sure.

70
00:06:20,755 --> 00:06:23,966
Avant-garde musicians,
folk musicians, jazz musicians.

71
00:06:24,050 --> 00:06:26,719
There is room for all of us to coexist.

72
00:06:26,803 --> 00:06:30,682
There's a space for us all to be
different and quirky

73
00:06:30,765 --> 00:06:32,684
and strange and beautiful together.

74
00:06:32,767 --> 00:06:37,814
That's what America is about.
That's the ideal where we should coexist

75
00:06:37,897 --> 00:06:40,817
if we lived up to the things
that we say we are about.

76
00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:44,361
We're gonna play it one time,
one night only, at Carnegie Hall.

thank you so much.

00:06:49,451 --> 00:06:53,538
[Batiste] We need to get a few different
musical section leaders.

80
00:06:53,621 --> 00:06:55,206
Right. Mm-hm.

81
00:06:55,289 --> 00:06:57,625

83
00:07:00,587 --> 00:07:02,088
-Exactly.
-Yeah, mm-hm, yeah.

84
00:07:02,171 --> 00:07:06,217
I feel like, yeah, once we get, like,
the core, like, musical identity

85
00:07:06,300 --> 00:07:08,511
of what's going on, this is everything.

86
00:07:09,095 --> 00:07:12,599
The output of this should be
one score that has everything…

87
00:07:12,682 --> 00:07:13,516
-Right.
-Um…

88
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,185
And you know, there's some parts that,
you know, may not even look like a score.

89
00:07:16,268 --> 00:07:17,687
There might be some that's just

90
00:07:17,770 --> 00:07:19,271
-like a list of directions. Exactly.
-Directive.

91
00:07:19,355 --> 00:07:20,857
-Exactly.
-Or, you know, pictures.

92
00:07:20,940 --> 00:07:23,818
[chuckles] You know, whatever we end up
deciding is gonna work for that.

93
00:07:23,901 --> 00:07:28,239
So, I think what will happen after that
is rehearsal and then we'll do more edits.

94
00:07:28,322 --> 00:07:30,241
-Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
-Final edit.

102
00:07:50,803 --> 00:07:53,556
-Yeah. Yeah.
-There's a moment where it's like that.

103
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:58,060
And then you can have that going while
the, the um-- the… [piano playing]

104
00:07:58,645 --> 00:08:00,312
-Yeah.
-I forgot what the bassline is,

105
00:08:00,396 --> 00:08:02,439
but yeah, where that other part comes in.

106
00:08:03,399 --> 00:08:04,358
Yeah, whoo.

107
00:08:05,151 --> 00:08:07,779
Man, that's gonna be a really cool sound
and what a way…

[man chuckles]

114
00:08:55,618 --> 00:08:59,080
[Batiste] My ambition for composing
this symphony is massive.

115
00:08:59,789 --> 00:09:02,625
I'm trying to expand
the canon of symphonic music.

116
00:09:03,375 --> 00:09:05,628
Break through long gate-kept spaces.

117
00:09:06,838 --> 00:09:11,050
And all without having the space
in my life carved out to focus on it.

118

[trumpet playing]

122
00:09:43,082 --> 00:09:45,835
[Batiste] I always knew
I wanted to be a leader.

123
00:09:45,918 --> 00:09:49,589
I was always driven to do some version
of what I'm doing now.

124
00:09:50,506 --> 00:09:52,634
It's just evolved and gotten freer.

125
00:09:56,303 --> 00:09:59,932
Growing up in New Orleans,
music was always a part of the family.

126

-[Batiste laughing]

127

[laughs]

128
00:10:09,025 --> 00:10:11,318
My dad was my first musical mentor.

129
00:10:13,112 --> 00:10:16,824
My mother, she really believed
in classical piano as a foundation.

130
00:10:16,908 --> 00:10:18,660
"Know your craft. Do your thing."

131
00:10:19,869 --> 00:10:22,038
And at one point, I had to decide.

132
00:10:22,121 --> 00:10:24,999
Stay. Find my way as a musician
back home,

133
00:10:25,082 --> 00:10:26,751
or go to college and do something.

134
00:10:26,834 --> 00:10:28,419
So that's how I ended up at Julliard.

135
00:10:28,502 --> 00:10:29,420
Hello.

136
00:10:30,337 --> 00:10:31,839
Whoo!

137
00:10:31,923 --> 00:10:36,343
Juilliard. You get to this place
and it's very classical culturally.

138
00:10:36,427 --> 00:10:38,095
European classical music.

139
00:10:38,888 --> 00:10:41,390
It's not a Black Southern thing
by any means.

140
00:10:42,224 --> 00:10:45,937
They were looking at me, like,
"Who is this kid from New Orleans?"

141
00:10:47,563 --> 00:10:50,274
[jazz music playing]

142
00:10:52,234 --> 00:10:55,863
First thing I did when I got to Julliard
was get a regular gig

143
00:10:56,864 --> 00:10:58,407
and put together a band.

144
00:11:03,579 --> 00:11:07,124
Nobody understood what we were
trying to do with Stay Human.

145
00:11:09,669 --> 00:11:12,088
Why was this band even called Stay Human?

146
00:11:12,588 --> 00:11:14,716
Why are they playing
on the subway for free?

147
00:11:15,341 --> 00:11:18,469
Why's he playing a child's toy instrument
and not the piano?

148
00:11:18,552 --> 00:11:20,596
Why's he wasting his talent?

149
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,515
Everything was met
with pushback, pushback, pushback.

150
00:11:24,183 --> 00:11:26,143
From Julliard. From everybody.

151
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,522
I was there for seven years.

152
00:11:31,941 --> 00:11:32,942
Very young.

153
00:11:33,567 --> 00:11:36,028
And then to see what's changed.

154
00:11:36,612 --> 00:11:40,157
To see that mural
and you see the melodica.

155
00:11:42,034 --> 00:11:44,286
That's the instrument
they told me to stop playing,

156
00:11:44,370 --> 00:11:46,372
that's when they sent me
to the psychiatrist

157
00:11:46,455 --> 00:11:48,415
they're like, "He might be crazy."

158
00:11:49,250 --> 00:11:51,252
[chuckles] And now there's a mural.

159
00:11:51,753 --> 00:11:55,089
It's just, like… beyond.

160
00:12:03,639 --> 00:12:06,058
I always marched to the beat
of my own drum

161
00:12:06,142 --> 00:12:07,518
for better or for worse.

162
00:12:08,853 --> 00:12:11,188
And I knew from the beginning,
I didn't fit into this.

163
00:12:11,272 --> 00:12:13,524
I-- I needed to create my own situation.

164
00:12:14,150 --> 00:12:16,778
My own space, my own world.

165
00:12:16,861 --> 00:12:18,487
[drums playing]

166
00:12:20,239 --> 00:12:22,867
When I was at Julliard, Stay Human
would get invited

167
00:12:22,950 --> 00:12:25,494
into all of these alternate universes
in New York City

168
00:12:25,577 --> 00:12:28,580
just from playing on the streets
and subways.

169
00:12:28,664 --> 00:12:33,002
The first time I met Questlove,
Lenny Kravitz, Red Hot Chili Peppers.

170
00:12:34,170 --> 00:12:38,174
Then Lenny tells Madonna, "Hey, we've got
this kid, Jon Batiste from New Orleans."

171
00:12:38,257 --> 00:12:39,466
It's so surreal.

172
00:12:40,217 --> 00:12:43,054
You gotta understand,
I was living in Washington Heights

173
00:12:43,137 --> 00:12:45,431
eating Goya beans for dinner every night.

[music, cheering continue]

177
00:13:04,033 --> 00:13:07,536
Hi, I'm Stephen Colbert
down in New Orleans, Louisiana.

178
00:13:07,619 --> 00:13:08,662
Thank you very much.

179
00:13:09,163 --> 00:13:12,208
And people keep asking me
who my band leader's gonna be.

180
00:13:12,708 --> 00:13:14,710
Well, I like this guy.

181
00:13:15,962 --> 00:13:17,964
Hi, I'm Jon Batiste.

182
00:13:20,716 --> 00:13:24,470
[Batiste] And all of a sudden. Bang.
The Late Show.

183
00:13:24,553 --> 00:13:26,347
Like BC, AD.

184
00:13:30,017 --> 00:13:32,937
I mean it completely pulled me
out of that world.

185
00:13:33,437 --> 00:13:35,857
I became somebody who was
in a castle somewhere.

186
00:13:35,940 --> 00:13:38,275
[Colbert] Jon, I love the music,
thanks for being my band leader.

187
00:13:38,359 --> 00:13:41,570
-Are you having a good time up there?
-Yeah, good job, man, it pays well.

188
00:13:41,653 --> 00:13:44,448
[laughs] Good to know, man.

189
00:13:44,531 --> 00:13:45,366
-Yeah.
-Good to know.

190
00:13:45,449 --> 00:13:48,452
-But obviously, you do it for the love.
-I love it, man, I love money.

191
00:13:48,535 --> 00:13:50,204
[Batiste] Everything changed.

192
00:13:51,622 --> 00:13:53,832
It was like, how did I get here?

193
00:13:55,584 --> 00:13:57,378
[automated voice] Twelfth floor.

194
00:14:01,340 --> 00:14:04,718
I'm glad to see everybody here
on the Zoom, and I just wanted to explain

195
00:14:05,302 --> 00:14:07,388
a little bit about the piece

196
00:14:07,471 --> 00:14:12,143
that we're embarking upon
and how important it is to me.

197
00:14:12,518 --> 00:14:14,645
"American Symphony" is the working title.

198
00:14:14,728 --> 00:14:18,482
I've been working on this
for almost four years.

199
00:14:18,565 --> 00:14:22,569
There's a four movement,
40-minute piece of music

200
00:14:22,653 --> 00:14:24,321
already composed,

201
00:14:24,405 --> 00:14:27,783
but it's not done
because I don't have the input

202
00:14:27,867 --> 00:14:29,994
and the inspiration from you all here.

[acoustic guitar playing
and voice and vocalizing]

204
00:14:36,625 --> 00:14:39,836
I want you to feel ownership of this piece

205
00:14:39,921 --> 00:14:43,340
in the sense of bringing everything
that you know to the table.

206

[drums beating, voices singing]

207
00:14:48,470 --> 00:14:50,722
You are the incredible musicians.

208
00:14:50,806 --> 00:14:53,559
If you feel like there's something
that you want to feature

209
00:14:53,642 --> 00:14:56,062
Something that makes you uniquely you.

210
00:14:56,145 --> 00:14:58,230
That will be our reference going forward.

I call it social music.

218

Our ancestors got together just like this
in a circle to play music.

219

Protesting.

220
00:15:24,381 --> 00:15:29,971
We play music to communicate
unspoken pain and joy.

221
00:15:30,637 --> 00:15:33,390
I think we're gonna make something
truly remarkable

222
00:15:33,474 --> 00:15:37,353

on a very profound level.

-No, however you want.

[Batiste] I thrive on creating
an atmosphere where it's all on the line.

you don't evolve.

Man. Yeah.

240
00:16:56,515 --> 00:16:58,142
Do you think I'm gonna crack?

your booties, please? [chuckles]

it had to be, to live a good life,
an adventurous life,

[Jaouad] Long before we were
in a romantic relationship,

324

Jon and I shared a creative language.

325

We both see survival
as its own kind of creative act.

326
00:21:47,097 --> 00:21:51,768
It's what helps us alchemize
the different things that come up in life

327

and transform them into something useful
and meaningful,

328

and even beautiful.

to look into darkness and despair,

330

But I feel in good spirits,
today was a good day, we went sledding

343
00:22:45,321 --> 00:22:46,782
which was fun… [fades]

344
00:22:48,450 --> 00:22:50,577
[ambient music playing]

345
00:23:07,969 --> 00:23:11,139
[Jaouad] It feels so eerie
to have cancer again

346
00:23:11,222 --> 00:23:14,685
after nearly ten years of remission

347
00:23:14,768 --> 00:23:18,647
and to be getting
a second bone marrow transplant.

348
00:23:18,730 --> 00:23:23,527
A last resort option
and a really risky procedure.

349
00:23:24,570 --> 00:23:28,574
It's a bizarre moment in our lives.

350
00:23:28,657 --> 00:23:33,620
My first day of chemo,
his 11 Grammy nominations were announced.

351
00:23:35,163 --> 00:23:40,627
We've both had so many good things
happening in the last couple of months

352
00:23:40,711 --> 00:23:43,714
and so many incredibly hard things.

353
00:23:44,422 --> 00:23:49,636
I honestly don't know how to hold
such extremes.

354
00:24:12,242 --> 00:24:14,786
[Jaouad on the phone] Can I show you
something? I'm having an issue.

355
00:24:14,870 --> 00:24:15,996
[Batiste] Yeah.

356
00:24:16,079 --> 00:24:17,831
My port is bleeding.

357
00:24:19,750 --> 00:24:21,417
She thinks it's because
my platelets are low,

358
00:24:21,502 --> 00:24:23,253
but I have to keep an eye on it.

359
00:24:23,336 --> 00:24:25,631
Otherwise, I'll have to go in. Yeah.

360
00:24:25,714 --> 00:24:27,924
You wanna go in now?
Because we could just come back.

361
00:24:28,008 --> 00:24:31,512
Absolutely don't. I'm fine.
It's stopped bleeding.

362
00:24:31,595 --> 00:24:34,097
That happened
a little bit the first time.

363
00:24:34,848 --> 00:24:36,307
It piled up.

364
00:24:37,100 --> 00:24:38,810
Okay, let's just keep an eye on it.

365
00:24:38,894 --> 00:24:42,731
Do you genuinely like the dresses
I tried on, or should I go shopping?

366
00:24:43,273 --> 00:24:46,818
I like them a lot.
I like the sequined one a lot.

367
00:24:46,902 --> 00:24:49,863
-Best?
-Best out of the two that I saw, yes.

368
00:24:50,739 --> 00:24:52,991
[quirky funky music playing]

369
00:25:05,879 --> 00:25:09,174
[man] Anything in particular
that you want in there?

370
00:25:09,257 --> 00:25:13,386
In the blessing?
Family, freedom and health.

371
00:25:19,059 --> 00:25:20,769
[Jaouad] It's all gonna come together.

372
00:25:24,355 --> 00:25:28,359
I'm very much in survival mode right now.

373
00:25:29,402 --> 00:25:31,529
I feel like we're living
a life of contrasts.

374
00:25:31,613 --> 00:25:32,864
[Batiste] Why, what do you mean?

375
00:25:33,364 --> 00:25:34,908
It's just a lot.

376
00:25:37,493 --> 00:25:39,120
[piano playing]

377
00:25:40,706 --> 00:25:44,918
Yeah. So this--
These are just the skeletons

378
00:25:45,001 --> 00:25:46,211
of each section.

379
00:25:46,294 --> 00:25:48,171
-[man] So…
-Theme, bassline.

380
00:25:48,254 --> 00:25:51,174
So with the symphony
there's an aspect of optimism to it.

381
00:25:51,257 --> 00:25:54,052
-Yup.
-There's a-- It's a-- It's, um…

382
00:25:54,803 --> 00:25:56,805
-Sunrise. And then…
-Mm-hm.

383
00:25:56,888 --> 00:25:59,307
-[piano refrain plays]
-The other thing…

384
00:26:02,268 --> 00:26:04,730
-[humming the melody]
-Mm-hm.

385
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,737
-There, you get the-- [laughs]
-[man] Yeah.

386
00:26:12,237 --> 00:26:13,614
Come into the space.

387
00:26:19,244 --> 00:26:20,370
Ooh, that's nice.

388
00:26:21,496 --> 00:26:23,498
[piano playing]

389
00:26:30,380 --> 00:26:31,965
Man, what is that?

390
00:26:32,048 --> 00:26:34,509
-Sounds like something.
-I know. [chuckles]

391
00:26:36,552 --> 00:26:39,180
[piano and trombone play together]

392
00:26:55,656 --> 00:26:56,907
What is that?

393
00:26:57,407 --> 00:26:59,617
[resumes playing piano]

394
00:27:02,746 --> 00:27:05,248
That's important, man, that thing.

395
00:27:06,082 --> 00:27:08,584
-Where it feels familiar at home…
-Yes.

396
00:27:10,003 --> 00:27:11,797
When it feels like something,
but it's not something.

397
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,132
-Yeah.
-That's when you know it's good.

398
00:27:14,215 --> 00:27:16,134
-Yeah.
-Feels like you've heard it before.

399
00:27:16,217 --> 00:27:17,552
-Right, right.
-But it's actually new.

400
00:27:17,635 --> 00:27:19,637
-Yeah. [laughs]
-That's the best.

401
00:27:19,721 --> 00:27:22,473
Oh! [vocalizes]

402
00:27:29,314 --> 00:27:32,818
[piano and trombone play together]

403
00:27:48,792 --> 00:27:52,087
In marriage,
a new family is established.

404
00:27:52,170 --> 00:27:56,132
And as the scriptures themselves state,
these two shall become one flesh,

405
00:27:56,216 --> 00:28:00,636
for the benefit of one another,
for the flourishing of society,

406
00:28:00,721 --> 00:28:02,347
and to the glory of God.

407
00:28:03,223 --> 00:28:05,892
Suleika and Jon, I ask you now
in the presence of God,

408
00:28:05,976 --> 00:28:09,062
and these witnesses,
to declare your intention.

409
00:28:09,145 --> 00:28:14,985
So Jon, repeat after me.
I, Jon, take you, Suleika, to be my wife.

410
00:28:15,068 --> 00:28:18,571
I, Jon, take you, Suleika, to be my wife.

411
00:28:18,654 --> 00:28:23,118
I, Suleika, take you, Jon,
to be my husband.

412
00:28:23,201 --> 00:28:26,747
To have and to hold from this day forward.

413
00:28:26,830 --> 00:28:28,790
For better or for worse.

414
00:28:28,874 --> 00:28:31,167
[Jaouad] For richer or for poorer.

415
00:28:31,251 --> 00:28:33,086
[Batiste] In sickness and in health.

416
00:28:33,169 --> 00:28:36,672
To love, honor, cherish, and protect.

417
00:28:36,757 --> 00:28:39,342
-Till death do us part.
-Till death do us part.

418
00:28:43,638 --> 00:28:47,934
[wedding officiant]
These rings you have selected

419
00:28:48,018 --> 00:28:49,936
are token of your marriage covenant.

420
00:28:50,020 --> 00:28:52,438
[all laughing]

421
00:28:52,522 --> 00:28:55,859
May the Lord bless these rings
to be a sign

422
00:28:55,942 --> 00:28:59,279
of the vows by which the two of you
are joining your lives together.

423
00:29:03,867 --> 00:29:09,289
So now, I announce to you
that they are husband and wife.

424
00:29:09,372 --> 00:29:14,294
Those whom God has joined together,
let no one separate. Amen.

425
00:29:14,377 --> 00:29:15,295
[man] Amen.

426
00:29:15,378 --> 00:29:17,505
Jon, you may kiss your bride.

427
00:29:17,588 --> 00:29:19,674
[whooping and clapping]

428
00:29:28,099 --> 00:29:29,142
[shutter clicks]

429
00:29:29,225 --> 00:29:31,644
[indistinct dialogue]

430
00:29:31,727 --> 00:29:34,105
-Join the club.
-[laughs]

431
00:29:34,730 --> 00:29:37,567
[Batiste] We met
in the Skidmore summer jazz camp.

432
00:29:37,650 --> 00:29:40,195
[Jaouad] And we were
very awkward teenagers.

433
00:29:40,278 --> 00:29:42,238
[Batiste] She had the bass and books.

434
00:29:42,738 --> 00:29:45,283
And Birkenstocks. It's an energy.

435
00:29:45,366 --> 00:29:47,452
[all laughing]

436
00:29:48,536 --> 00:29:50,872
And she was saying all these crazy things.

437
00:29:52,540 --> 00:29:55,043
To me, like, she don't even
really know me really.

438
00:29:55,126 --> 00:29:58,004
But it was like,
"We're gonna take over the world."

439
00:29:58,797 --> 00:30:01,091
-"Change the world."
-[Jaouad] Oh, yeah, I remember.

440
00:30:01,174 --> 00:30:03,927
-[Batiste] Yeah, I'm into that.
-[Jaouad] I think you and I were, like…

441
00:30:05,011 --> 00:30:06,721
I will say this about Jon.

442
00:30:07,263 --> 00:30:10,641
Jon has the greatest capacity for change

443
00:30:10,725 --> 00:30:14,270
and improvisation

444
00:30:14,354 --> 00:30:17,148
and growth, of anyone I've ever met.

445
00:30:17,232 --> 00:30:24,280
This is a moment that calls us
to embody what our relationship is.

446
00:30:24,364 --> 00:30:28,784
It's not, you know, all champagne
and beautiful things,

447
00:30:28,869 --> 00:30:30,245
but it's the hard things.

448
00:30:30,328 --> 00:30:34,332
[Batiste] And Suleika,
you're such a survivor.

449
00:30:35,125 --> 00:30:39,379
I just think that we should celebrate
not just this relationship,

450
00:30:39,462 --> 00:30:42,090
but who you are
and what you're about to come through.

00:32:24,317 --> 00:32:27,278
I'm Doctor Ghosh, I'm the attending
on the BMT service.

469
00:32:27,362 --> 00:32:29,864
We're here for a transplant.

470
00:32:29,948 --> 00:32:32,783
-[Jaouad] Yeah.
-I know you've gone through this before,

471
00:32:32,867 --> 00:32:34,369
it's been a decade back.

472
00:32:34,452 --> 00:32:38,081
A second transplant can be
a little more difficult sometimes…

473
00:32:38,164 --> 00:32:40,666
-[Jaouad] Yeah.
-…but we're all here to take care of that.

474
00:32:40,750 --> 00:32:42,460
Expected, unexpected.

475
00:32:42,543 --> 00:32:44,754
-All right, thank you very much.
-Thank you.

476
00:32:44,837 --> 00:32:47,007
[Jaouad] Thank you so much,
I really appreciate it.

477
00:32:50,176 --> 00:32:53,013
What is the age range on this floor,
would you say?

478
00:32:53,096 --> 00:32:57,267
[nurse] Age range, uh… Eh…

479
00:32:58,893 --> 00:33:00,979
Average is like, 50 to 70.

480
00:33:01,062 --> 00:33:03,064
-Mm-hm.
-We have the outliers.

481
00:33:03,148 --> 00:33:06,901
Last time, I was-- I remember being
struck by that because I was 22.

482
00:33:12,490 --> 00:33:14,034
What can I do for you?

483
00:33:14,659 --> 00:33:17,287
[Batiste] Nothing. Heal.

484
00:33:18,038 --> 00:33:19,039
[chuckles]

485
00:33:22,292 --> 00:33:25,420
I remember feeling
a lot more scared last time.

486
00:33:27,505 --> 00:33:29,965
I don't know if it's because I'm older.

487
00:33:31,509 --> 00:33:33,678
And just like more together.

488
00:33:34,512 --> 00:33:36,722
Or because I know what to expect.

489
00:33:37,473 --> 00:33:40,226
Or because I'm in total denial.

490
00:33:42,770 --> 00:33:44,230
What do you think it is?

491
00:33:45,398 --> 00:33:46,482
[Batiste] Mm.

492
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,569
-Time moves on.
-Mm-hm.

-How you feeling?

00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,100
Man, we in it, let's do it.

496
00:34:20,183 --> 00:34:23,644
-I'm so glad we could link this up.
-Same. Happy to be here.

497
00:34:23,728 --> 00:34:26,106
Yeah, when Matt gave me that call,
I was like,

498
00:34:26,189 --> 00:34:29,150
-no thinking, no hesitation. Yes.
-Oh, man.

[sampled female voice]
Better in a greater world.

500
00:34:31,611 --> 00:34:33,654
Better in a greater world

501
00:34:33,738 --> 00:34:36,741
for all people.
Better in a greater world--

502
00:34:36,824 --> 00:34:39,119
I've gotta get used to
the delays of each one.

[vocalizing]

504
00:34:42,913 --> 00:34:44,499
Okay, so the 4/4 is in two,

505
00:34:44,582 --> 00:34:46,501
the 5/8 is gonna be a three plus two.

506
00:34:46,584 --> 00:34:49,379
So that's later on, 5/8, three plus two.

507
00:34:53,841 --> 00:34:56,427
The 3/2 will be in three. Big beats.

508
00:34:56,511 --> 00:34:59,389
[vocalizing rhythm] All right?

509
00:35:00,014 --> 00:35:04,519
I've never seen a conductor
in Jordans before.

510
00:35:08,523 --> 00:35:09,482
Whoop. Sorry.

511

but I'd sure like to win some. [laughs]

856
01:05:00,521 --> 01:05:03,274
The way you come across is
kind of a very wholesome

857
01:05:03,357 --> 01:05:05,068
very optimistic, very positive.

858
01:05:05,151 --> 01:05:09,530
Is it important to you to exude
that kind of positivity?

859
01:05:10,364 --> 01:05:13,076
Something that you are representing
for a reason.

860
01:05:17,038 --> 01:05:20,791
I think it's natural
and I think people want that.

861
01:05:20,874 --> 01:05:23,920
So I always-- You know,
whatever I'm putting out there,

862
01:05:24,003 --> 01:05:25,754
even in this interview talking to you,

863
01:05:25,838 --> 01:05:28,049
me and you-- I'm grateful to be here.

864
01:05:28,132 --> 01:05:31,260
I'm grateful to be able
to have these words memorialized

865
01:05:31,344 --> 01:05:35,056
and whatever that's gonna do in the world,
I believe that has a serious impact,

866
01:05:35,139 --> 01:05:37,141
and I want that impact to lead to joy.

868
01:05:40,311 --> 01:05:43,731
I want the impact to lead

869
01:05:44,315 --> 01:05:47,360
That's a real thing. That's very real.

870
01:05:48,111 --> 01:05:52,281
But they also have Black people cooning
and mugging for the camera,

871
01:05:52,365 --> 01:05:57,078
and smiling and dancing for centuries
and that was all people could see them as.

872
01:05:57,786 --> 01:05:59,663
So we really have a psychosis

873
01:05:59,747 --> 01:06:03,792
in terms of how we perceive Black
entertainers and Black intellectuals.

874
01:06:03,876 --> 01:06:07,588
We have something to actually overcome,
in order to understand

875
01:06:07,671 --> 01:06:11,092
the full range
of what they offer to the world.

876
01:06:11,175 --> 01:06:13,636
And sometimes we don't see that
until after the fact.

877
01:06:14,137 --> 01:06:16,889
So it's important
that I also state that too.

in their lives when they need it most.

-[Batiste] Oh…

1023
01:14:59,244 --> 01:15:01,371
-Well, next time, don't worry about it.
-Yeah, okay.

1024
01:15:01,454 --> 01:15:02,540
Thank you so much.

1025
01:15:02,623 --> 01:15:04,958
I'm just hanging out on your shoe shine--

1026
01:15:05,042 --> 01:15:06,293
Are you a celebrity?

1027
01:15:06,960 --> 01:15:08,546
-What's uh--
-You got a camera man.

1028
01:15:08,629 --> 01:15:12,340
Yeah, he's a great, great friend of mine.

1029
01:15:12,424 --> 01:15:14,885
-Just filming us, hanging out.
-Okay.

1030
01:15:15,511 --> 01:15:17,387
-What do you do?
-I'm a musician.

1031
01:15:17,470 --> 01:15:19,181
-Are you?
-Yeah.

1032
01:15:19,264 --> 01:15:21,809
Right on. Yeah, we did a…

1033
01:15:23,101 --> 01:15:24,770
-We did a performance last night.
-[man] Your performance last night

1034
01:15:24,853 --> 01:15:26,479
-was epic.
-At the Grammy Awards.

1035
01:15:26,564 --> 01:15:27,648
-Oh, thank you.
-We were there last night.

1036
01:15:27,731 --> 01:15:29,399
-Oh, amazing.
-It was epic.

1037
01:15:29,482 --> 01:15:31,902
-Oh, thank you.
-[woman] We were blown away, really were.

1038
01:15:31,985 --> 01:15:35,238
-Thank you for--
-Yeah, the showmanship is bar none.

1039
01:15:35,322 --> 01:15:36,782
Is this-- Is this you?

1040
01:15:36,865 --> 01:15:38,826
-Oh, yeah.
-You're on the front page.

1041
01:15:38,909 --> 01:15:40,452
-There you go.
-[laughing]

1042
01:15:40,536 --> 01:15:41,995
Anyway, we don't want to bother you,
but great.

1043
01:15:42,079 --> 01:15:43,706
-Pleasure, have a good one.
-Have a good rest of your day.

1044
01:15:43,789 --> 01:15:44,957
Nice to meet you.

1045
01:15:46,917 --> 01:15:51,254
It won't cost you nothing,
but I can use this on patent leather.

1046
01:15:51,338 --> 01:15:53,215
Oh, yeah. It's okay, don't worry about it.

1047
01:15:53,298 --> 01:15:54,341
I can do it.

1048
01:15:54,424 --> 01:15:55,968
-Are you sure?
-Yeah.

1049
01:16:00,472 --> 01:16:02,432
-Great job last night.
-[Batiste] Thank you.

1050
01:16:02,515 --> 01:16:03,809
[trading kisses]

1051
01:16:04,267 --> 01:16:05,352
-Yeah.
-All right.

1052
01:16:05,435 --> 01:16:06,895
All right, all right.

1053
01:16:06,979 --> 01:16:08,772
-Whoo!
-Bless you, brother.

1054
01:16:08,856 --> 01:16:10,566
Bada, Bada!

1055
01:16:11,108 --> 01:16:12,901
The winners, the winners.

1056
01:16:12,985 --> 01:16:15,654
-Congratulations.
-Yes, indeed, thank you.

1057
01:16:15,738 --> 01:16:17,781
[indistinct chatter]

1058
01:16:24,496 --> 01:16:25,538
Wow.

1059
01:16:29,752 --> 01:16:31,670
[Batiste]
Everybody's on their own journey.

1060
01:16:34,131 --> 01:16:37,217
We're all moving towards
our ultimate destination.

1061
01:16:39,052 --> 01:16:41,346
You know, the world defines you.

1062
01:16:41,429 --> 01:16:43,766
Great success, great failure.

1063
01:16:44,349 --> 01:16:46,309
You know, her health is failing,

1064
01:16:46,393 --> 01:16:49,271
her book is on the New York Times
bestseller list.

1065
01:16:49,354 --> 01:16:50,856
That's her journey.

1066
01:16:52,691 --> 01:16:55,027
I win five Grammys, Album of The Year.

1067
01:16:55,611 --> 01:16:57,905
Biggest prize in music. Come home.

1068
01:16:58,446 --> 01:17:00,240
She's back in the hospital.

1069
01:17:01,074 --> 01:17:02,951
This is what we're dealing with.

1070
01:17:05,370 --> 01:17:07,330
[monitor beeping]

1071
01:17:09,082 --> 01:17:09,958
[grunts softly]

1072
01:17:24,682 --> 01:17:27,309
[sighs]

1073
01:17:43,951 --> 01:17:45,953
All up in my ribcage.

1074
01:17:57,089 --> 01:17:59,049
Will you help me get set back up?

1075
01:17:59,132 --> 01:18:00,425
-Mm.
-Will you help me?

1076
01:18:00,508 --> 01:18:01,343
Okay.

1077
01:18:08,308 --> 01:18:10,643
-I want the tables and the paints.
-Mm-hm.

1078
01:18:11,144 --> 01:18:12,395
Thank you.

1079
01:18:20,612 --> 01:18:22,655
-[in French] See you tonight?
-Mm?

1080
01:18:22,740 --> 01:18:24,199
[in French] I'll see you tonight?

1081
01:18:25,367 --> 01:18:26,368
What time?

1082
01:18:28,245 --> 01:18:29,162
Later?

1083
01:18:32,165 --> 01:18:34,960
[chuckles] I'll see you tonight.

1084
01:18:37,963 --> 01:18:39,589
[trumpet playing]

1085
01:18:42,300 --> 01:18:44,136
[trumpet and piano playing]

1086
01:18:57,190 --> 01:18:58,150
[Batiste] Oh!

1087
01:18:58,901 --> 01:19:01,987
Oh, that A-flat-- [vocalizes refrain]

1088
01:19:06,699 --> 01:19:10,412
Play-- Ooh, ooh. Play the melody,
down an octave, let me hear that.

1089
01:19:10,495 --> 01:19:12,705
[trumpet resumes]

1090
01:19:32,350 --> 01:19:34,352
[guitars and trumpet playing]

1091
01:19:56,374 --> 01:19:58,668
[chuckles] How do you feel about it?

1092
01:19:59,544 --> 01:20:01,379
-[musician] I like it.
-Great.

1093
01:20:01,463 --> 01:20:04,216
So let's try it one more time,
then we'll record it.

1094
01:20:04,299 --> 01:20:07,135
[orchestra playing together]

1095
01:20:11,807 --> 01:20:13,851
Yeah, play that with authority.

1096
01:20:14,392 --> 01:20:17,980
Yeah. Wild West, abandon.
You a cowboy.

1097
01:20:18,063 --> 01:20:20,315
You ain't afraid. Yeah.

1098
01:20:22,650 --> 01:20:24,862
-[man] Jon, over here.
-[Batiste] Boom. I got it right here.

1099
01:20:27,322 --> 01:20:29,199
-Hey.
-[man] Hey, Jon, over here, please?

1100
01:20:29,699 --> 01:20:32,410
[indistinct overlapping voices]

1101
01:20:33,078 --> 01:20:34,913
Whoo!

1102
01:20:34,997 --> 01:20:36,999
Mr. Batiste, may we do a jump shot?

1103
01:20:37,082 --> 01:20:39,584
Yeah, brother. [vocalizing]

1104
01:20:42,670 --> 01:20:44,923
[Batiste] Man, I didn't even
want to be famous.

1105
01:20:45,007 --> 01:20:47,217
Never making music with that intention.

1106
01:20:48,343 --> 01:20:49,469
That's the vibe.

1107
01:20:53,932 --> 01:20:55,767
Even though I'm grateful for it,

1108
01:20:55,851 --> 01:20:58,478
if I was to go up more levels in fame,

1109
01:20:58,561 --> 01:21:01,231
it's just more stuff
to take you away from your family.

1110
01:21:01,314 --> 01:21:02,357
and your people.

1111
01:21:02,440 --> 01:21:05,068
-It's a tough crowd to move along
-I know.

1112
01:21:05,152 --> 01:21:07,988
-I'm relying on you.
-[laughs] I'm gonna shake it up.

1113
01:21:08,571 --> 01:21:11,158
[Batiste] You gotta protect that ambition
from taking over.

1114
01:21:11,241 --> 01:21:13,535
It'll be, like, this size,
maybe a little bigger.

1115
01:21:13,618 --> 01:21:16,329
And I want to do a checkerboard effect.

1116
01:21:17,372 --> 01:21:19,624
Gotta protect it from becoming
the primary way

1117
01:21:19,707 --> 01:21:22,961
that you relate to yourself
and to your loved ones.

1118
01:21:27,299 --> 01:21:30,843
[chuckles] It's like you're living
a double life or something.

1119
01:21:32,012 --> 01:21:35,432
[lush orchestral music playing]

1120
01:21:52,574 --> 01:21:55,535
-[doctor] Hello! Hello, hi.
-[Jaouad] Hi, Dr. Charles.

1121
01:21:56,203 --> 01:21:57,620
-How are you?
-[female doctor] We're back.

1122
01:21:57,704 --> 01:21:59,622
I'm here, I'm happy, I'm happy to be here.

1123
01:21:59,706 --> 01:22:01,416
-Oh, good.
-How are you?

1124
01:22:01,499 --> 01:22:02,709
I'm doing okay.

1125
01:22:02,792 --> 01:22:04,169
Ahh.

1126
01:22:04,711 --> 01:22:07,089
So, the first issue is
how's the graft working?

1127
01:22:07,172 --> 01:22:09,466
Well, what's the bone marrow looking like?

1128
01:22:10,092 --> 01:22:11,801
The marrow looks wonderful

1129
01:22:11,884 --> 01:22:15,680
and we didn't see a leukemia cell,
so that means a complete remission.

1130
01:22:16,306 --> 01:22:17,432
-[Jaouad] Great.
-Which is good.

1131
01:22:18,183 --> 01:22:20,727
-Let's go over the issues, young lady.
-Uh-oh.

1132
01:22:21,728 --> 01:22:24,356
-Positive thoughts, positive thoughts.
-Okay. Brave.

1133
01:22:25,440 --> 01:22:27,359
Would this remission last five years

1134
01:22:27,442 --> 01:22:30,612
and then come back again?
The answer is we don't know.

1135
01:22:31,738 --> 01:22:34,491
What are we doing differently?
This time we're not stopping the A's.

1136
01:22:34,574 --> 01:22:36,451
You're taking it as long as it works.

1137
01:22:36,534 --> 01:22:38,828
-[Jaouad] So chemo forever?
-Yeah.

1138
01:22:40,455 --> 01:22:43,000
[Dr. Charles] Ninety percent about this
is managing risk.

1139
01:22:43,083 --> 01:22:44,960
-Yeah.
-Is it worth for you

1140
01:22:45,043 --> 01:22:46,878
-to take a risk, right?
-Got it.

1141
01:22:46,962 --> 01:22:49,006
So, I mean, there will be points that

1142
01:22:49,089 --> 01:22:51,091
you'll have to make the decision about,

1143
01:22:51,174 --> 01:22:54,302
"I am going to expose myself
to 1,000 people here."

1144
01:22:54,386 --> 01:22:57,139
You're doing this to live,
not to survive, okay?

1145
01:22:57,930 --> 01:23:00,308
You live every day as if it were
the last day of your life.

1146
01:23:00,392 --> 01:23:02,810
You are so unique,
the numbers are meaningless to you.

1147
01:23:02,894 --> 01:23:03,853
Okay.

1148
01:23:03,936 --> 01:23:06,106
[Batiste] What's the biopsy schedule?

1149
01:23:06,189 --> 01:23:08,900
[Dr. Charles] Six month,
nine month, 12 month,

1150
01:23:08,984 --> 01:23:10,902
and then probably every six months.

1151
01:23:10,986 --> 01:23:14,114
And at year five, we can negotiate.

1152
01:23:14,947 --> 01:23:16,241
You look worried.

1153
01:23:17,117 --> 01:23:19,995
No, no, no, I think I'm-- I'm okay.

1154
01:23:20,078 --> 01:23:24,041
I think the idea
of doing Chemo indefinitely feels--

1155
01:23:24,124 --> 01:23:27,252
-The word indefinitely feels daunting.
-[female doctor] I know.

1156
01:23:27,335 --> 01:23:29,212
[Dr. Charles] Hey,
we don't have to, remember.

1157
01:23:29,296 --> 01:23:32,465
-No, no, no--
-It's not the tenth commandment, right.

1158
01:23:32,549 --> 01:23:33,508
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1159
01:23:33,591 --> 01:23:35,385
-We do what feels right.
-Right.

1160
01:23:35,468 --> 01:23:39,264
But I think it's…
it's important to budget.

1161
01:23:40,515 --> 01:23:42,267
This is what I'm gonna do,
but remember,

1162
01:23:42,350 --> 01:23:44,227
only fools and dead people
don't change their minds,

1163
01:23:44,311 --> 01:23:46,479
so you can change your mind
and I can change my mind.

1164
01:23:46,563 --> 01:23:49,899
Yeah… and I'm okay, I just…

1165
01:23:51,276 --> 01:23:53,528
[mother] And you have had
people doing this indefinitely

1166
01:23:53,611 --> 01:23:57,115
who have good quality of life
and get used…

1167
01:23:57,990 --> 01:24:00,118
[somber piano playing]

1168
01:24:20,805 --> 01:24:24,309
[woman on phone] How are you doing
as far as your faith

1169
01:24:25,852 --> 01:24:27,645
in everything right now?

1170
01:24:27,729 --> 01:24:31,233
[Batiste] I have faith
that everything can change.

1171
01:24:32,192 --> 01:24:35,362
I have faith that everything is changing.

1172
01:24:37,280 --> 01:24:40,575
God giveth and God can take away.

1173
01:24:41,576 --> 01:24:42,869
In a second.

1174
01:24:43,370 --> 01:24:44,871
It can all go.

1175
01:24:45,663 --> 01:24:49,334
Obviously, there are things
that I would like to be different.

1176
01:24:50,293 --> 01:24:54,464
But I think I'm more just
coming into the realization

1177
01:24:55,090 --> 01:24:57,967
of what genuine acceptance is

1178
01:24:58,635 --> 01:25:00,803
and genuine gratitude.

1179
01:25:01,346 --> 01:25:04,974
And there's an urgency
to that realization.

1180
01:25:05,057 --> 01:25:07,519
Okay. How have you been processing this?

1181
01:25:07,602 --> 01:25:12,899
There's a choice… that has crept upon me,

1182
01:25:13,775 --> 01:25:16,194
to be made in this moment,

1183
01:25:16,278 --> 01:25:20,072
that has nothing to do with the things
that people can see on the outside.

1184
01:25:20,782 --> 01:25:22,159
That's not easy.

1185
01:25:23,285 --> 01:25:25,370
It takes an absence of fear…

1186
01:25:30,750 --> 01:25:34,379
[Colbert] I've got news about
our dear friend, Jon Batiste.

1187
01:25:34,462 --> 01:25:36,839
