“You took this subway car that's usually a very somber, grim place, and turned it into a happy place,” Bill Whitaker tells Jon Batiste after watching him perform on a New York City subway. “I love seeing how different songs strike a chord with different people. And that's a beautiful thing, when you can bring somebody that kind of unexpected feeling of belonging, feeling like they're not alone in the world,” says Batiste. “I just enjoy the idea of being this vessel that unites people, brings people together, against all odds,” he continues. #jonbatiste #nysubway #music
