Can you acknowledge that Jon Batiste demonstrates uncommon intelligence, maturity, humility and humor in his "Commencement Address," posted online by Salve Regina 5-21-17? Do you find his performance of "Wonderful World," posted on YouTube by Quincy Jones 7-22-16, to be pedestrian or can you acknowledge that Batiste channels God's energy? Why not post a link to your piano performance so that we might evaluate your qualifications as a music critic, and so we might understand your perspective?
So ask God to help you to stand by every syllable of your remarks that Batiste is a nothing, the most overrated artist in your field (of jazz or pianists?). How many years and at which venues have you played piano for a living? (On the street with a tip jar?) What college degrees do you have to match Batiste's two Juilliard degrees? I doubt that Jacob Collier and Bobby McFerrin would say that Batiste's performance of "Blackbird" is utterly pedestrian in comparison to theirs. Paul McCartney, too, would probably like for you to post a link to your nonpedestrian performance of "Blackbird." Knock yourself out.
I find you intensely bigoted. Throwing the word ordinary as if it were a slur. Most of us are ordinary. I’m ordinary and live a fine life and have a fine career being my own unique version of ordinary. Batiste is in very good company. By the way you utterly misrepresent what I said about him. I always call him a lovely talented man. Shame on you. Find a different windmill to shake your fist at

Sheesh. God help the people in your life that deign to disagree with you on some little thing
