You know him as the composer and musical director on The Late Show, but Jon Batiste has been at this for a lot longer than you might imagine. He’s got New Orleans jazz in his blood, two degrees from Juilliard serves as the co-artistic director at The National Jazz Museum in Harlem, and has some acting chops. On top of all that, Batiste and his band, Stay Human, have been known to incite “love riots” on city streets. Imagine a parade, concert, party, and a whole lot of love all mixed together and you’ll get the idea. No better way to ring in the holidays. Here, he ambushes the citizens of New York with his version of "Christmas in Barcelona."
