Saya tidak percaya pada penistaan lagu! : Daftar putar jujur Jon Batiste

Jon Batiste curates a playlist of songs that hold special significance for him. From the first song he fell in love with to the one that changed his life, Batiste shares personal stories behind his musical journey.

The first song that captured his heart was “Strokin'” by Clarence Carter, a tune that resonates with him from childhood. Batiste recalls being introduced to a diverse range of music, from jazz legends like Oscar Peterson to gospel sermons, by his family.

As a young music enthusiast, Batiste purchased his first singles from a Blockbuster video store, including albums by Michael Jackson, Björk, Erykah Badu, and Common. These records marked the beginning of his music collection.

One song that holds bittersweet memories for Batiste is “Reelin’ in the Years” by Steely Dan, as it reminds him of his time performing on The Late Show. The repetitive playing of the song during this period has made it difficult for him to listen to it now.

Reflecting on the pivotal moments in his life, Batiste highlights “When the Saints Go Marching In” as a song that profoundly impacted him when he performed it at his grandmother’s funeral. The emotional experience changed his perspective on music and life.

For intimate moments, Batiste suggests D’Angelo’s soulful track “Untitled (How Does It Feel)” as the perfect soundtrack for lovemaking. He also shares that Bach’s “Air on the G String” evokes deep emotions and has brought tears to his eyes with its poignant melody.

While Batiste enjoys diverse musical genres, he admits to secretly loving punk music, particularly the band Amyl and the Sniffers. He appreciates the raw energy and innovation in their sound, akin to avant-garde jazz.

To kickstart his day, Batiste relies on a morning playlist featuring uplifting tracks like Coldplay’s “Don’t Panic,” Art Tatum’s “Body and Soul,” and Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World.” These songs set a positive tone for his day ahead.

Looking ahead, Batiste envisions “When the Saints Come Marching In” as the song he would like to be played at his own funeral, tying back to the powerful impact it had on him at his grandmother’s service.

Fans can catch Jon Batiste’s World festival residency in London from 24th to 28th June. Tickets are available on livenation.co.uk, offering a unique opportunity to experience the music of this talented artist.
