    I think that's the first time I heard a saxophone do Monroe licks.

    Wow that was great.

    The best part was watching the interaction between Thile and Batiste and his "Stay Human" band. All that eye contact and tight rhythm groove. What a great collaboration between consummate pro musicians, who couldn't have had many rehearsals for this number.

    Amazing musicians can do wonderful things, and harmonies higher than Theile is singing. Wonderful.

    Really cool, but I wish they'd mixed the mandolin a bit higher. Can barely even hear him play.

    It's from the "Late Show" on CBS, currently hosted by Stephen Colbert. I don't know if Thile was a featured guest on the show, he might have been sitting in with the band for the audience warm-up before the show.

    Oh I did not realize. And I assume that is the show's house band. Wow.

    I like to wonder about how Thile is to work with behind the scenes. When working with an existing band that already plays together well, how does the interaction go. Do they do some stuff together to kind of get to know each other musically, does the band give control entirely over to Thile, does it feel gracious the way Thile takes control.

    Stuff I wonder about.

    You don't get to be the house band for a major network show like this without being absolutely at the top of your game. It's the contemporary version of Doc Severinsen or Paul Shaffer, who had their own styles, but had the chops to work with just about anything. Check out Jon Batiste's bio on Wiki:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Batiste

    I would assume they probably had a few rehearsals of that song on the afternoon before the show, with the band reading from charts and then having it down well enough to back Thile for the performance later in the day. AAA level studio cats get paid to do that, day in and day out.

    When the song ended and Chirs waved his hand and exclaimed "This BAND!", that said it all.

    FWIW, I'm not a huge fan of the Punch Brothers stuff, but man... a rhythm and blues horn section and drums kicked that song into another dimension for me.
