“I’m thrilled! This is a match made in heaven. Get ready for a love riot in late night,” states Batiste.

Colbert adds, “His music makes the audience feel so good, we may have to install a ‘Do Not Make Love’ sign.”

Batiste is originally from New Orleans. During his career, he has released several albums including the #1 Jazz LP Social Music.

Elements of Hip Hop, R&B, Blues, and Folk have been included in Batiste’s live performances. The multi-instrumentalist also appeared in the HBO drama Treme and Spike Lee’s Red Hook Summer.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert premieres Tuesday, September 8 at 11:35 PM, ET/PT on CBS.
