Jon Batiste

ones that i've done for the station and then we we put the cliff notes to them so i'm excited to put that out uh next year so that will be in its own um series not a part of side hustle and flow but still a book and i still think very beneficial people can listen to the full podcast but then they can also read the recaps because i wanted people to be able to condense What can I learn from these people? It's called Deeper Groove's Listen and Learn.

But I only did these things to learn from these great artists, talking to a John Batiste, talking to Corey Henry, talking to Marcus King, talking to Grammy winners like Sarah Gazarek or Bobby Rush.

I learned so much, the people from the Blind Boys of Alabama.

Everybody gave me so much time and so many nuggets of wisdom.

Well,

John Baptiste does that.

He starts playing on a Bach fugue and all of a sudden it's something completely different.

Hiromi does it as well.

The game is awesome.

Did you get to interview John Batiste? I did,

yeah.

I

He's like a piano player.

Oh, John Batiste.

Batiste, sorry.

Okay.

First, we figure out what are the selected few that can really solve this problem.

And then how do we bring John, he's a kid from Bronx, who will do the things that those three shouldn't be doing? Because their skills are more valuable elsewhere, right? They need to be concentrated.

And they don't like doing it either, right? So John...

Take a shovel.

There is a pile of, you know what, waiting for you.

Yeah, truly.

I know my husband's always like, I need a shower about it.

And I'm like, okay.

He'll take, you know, long in the shower and I'll come in.

And so if that's what he does and they've like, well, I'm doing it right because this is what you're supposed to do.

It's like, but you're missing so much and it doesn't just have to be art.

I mean, my husband will always say, I brought him up a lot, but he's, you know, I hang out with him a lot.

So he'll say he's not creative sometimes.
