Jon Batiste Hears Green Day for the First Time

In this video from Pianote, the multi-talented Jon Batiste hears Green Day’s Holiday for the first time (drum & vocals only) and is challenged to come up with a piano accompaniment for it โ€” and he really really gets into it. (How do you find a song that a musical encyclopedia like Batiste has never heard before though?)

These are always so fun to watch โ€” see also Drummer Plays Metallica’s Enter Sandman After Hearing It Only Once. Oh and Green Day’s demastering of Dookie. (via @unlikelywords.bsky.social)
