Ben Folds Presents: 'Nocturne' by Jon Batiste, featuring dancer Caleb Teicher

Musician and bandleader for "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" Jon Batiste performs "Nocturne" with the National Symphony Orchestra, featuring critically-acclaimed dancer, choreographer, and director Caleb Teicher.

Ben Folds curates and hosts this unique “part concert, part party” event that defies the traditional classical music presentation by shining a spotlight on great live music performed by the NSO and special guests in a laid-back and relaxed setting.

Jon Batiste is a national treasure. And damn but he comes up with some nice surprises!
And Caleb Teicher, completely new to me, is something major. Really fine all around!

This, with Teicher's OWN brilliant take, is similar to what the late Gregory Hines used to do: use his tap skills PERCUSSIVELY. As if his feet were an instrument..just sublime..

the dancing adds a wonderful dimension to the piece. Just heard about Jon Batiste on NPR today, last day of December 2018 !

The concept is cool but those taps are really lame after about 3 seconds of hearing them. I can see a piece that they actually work WELL in, but this isn't it
