As the first promo video gets out of the way, Stephen Colbert has checked off a second item off of his checklist. The host of CBS’s Late Show has chosen Jonathan Batiste as the new bandleader.

As a native to Louisiana and a graduate of Julliard, Batiste is a big name in the world of jazz and blues music. He is a prolific solo artist on his own terms but he has also worked with artists such as Prince, Wynton Marsalis, Allen Toussaint, and Dr. John over the years. He has an immensely charismatic personality, which can be seen on-stage with his rowdy live performances and off-stage in his acting such as his roles on HBO’s Treme and Spike Lee’s Red Hook Summer.

Colbert has also shared a new promo video introducing Batiste which can be seen here.

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

Late Show with Stephen Colbert will premiere on September 8th.
