Recently, I listened to Jon Batiste’s interview on NPR’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross. His reflections on music as a bridge across generations and a connection to humanity feel deeply resonant. At its core, humanity thrives on shared experiences, inspirations, and understanding — values Batiste powerfully highlights.
As the world faces its many challenges, art in all its forms is more vital than ever. In its most profound expression, it does not just reside in the moment — it has the power to unite us through time, reminding us that, even in tumultuous times, we are part of something much greater than the here and now.
