“It’s the first time in the history of the anthem that had samples included in it,” said Batiste, a Louisiana native who is a Grammy and Oscar winner and former bandleader for the “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” “We almost couldn’t clear the main sample that I wanted until the night before.
He added: “This is more than just taking a bad thing and making it good. It’s almost a blessing, as wild as it is to think about it like that.”While crafting “Notes from My Future Self,” Batiste had three things on his mind: returning home, the national anthem and the wide-eyed wonder of him at 6 years old.
“When you hear the song and you’re listening, it’s me talking to my younger me,” he said. “But it could also be you, talking to young you. In a moment like this, it’s important for us to heal, to really thrive and be rooted in who we are. We have to go back to that kid.” His He Gets Us Presents Jon Batiste’s Love Riot Festival transformed the grounds of George Washington Carver High School into a celebration of music, hope, and action. The event also highlighted plans for a future sports field to serve local schools.
