Stephen Colbert appoints jazz man Jon Batiste as 'The Late Show' band leader

When Stephen Colbert's The Late Show debuts on Sept. 8, he'll have a helping hand on camera from jazz artist Jon Batiste, his newly appointed band leader. 

"His music makes the audience feel so good, we may have to install a 'Do Not Make Love' sign," Colbert said in a CBS statement announcing Batiste's role.

In a short video, Colbert also introduced New Orleans-bred Batiste, whose latest album with his band Stay Human claimed the No. 1 spot on Billboard Jazz Album Chart (listen, below).
