More of this please. It's maddening to always hear this band finishing what was clearly a killer performance.

She’s one of one! There’s nobody like her

That bass guitar has seen life and is life.....

MORE OF THIS FOREVER AND ALWAYS Edit: Okay, now that the initial shock has worn off a bit, HOLY CRAP I did not expect the Late Show Band to be so absolutely outstanding. I mean, having Meshell there didn't hurt, but still. What a fantastically talented group of musicians.

Watch the Cory Wong "Lunchtime" one if you haven't, it's nuts. This band is nuts.

Seeing them live...you won't be able to sit still..dance..dance I say!

THIS is the magic of live music. What an incredible performance by each individual, because the is so much greater than the parts.

What a legend! Been a fan since I first heard her ages ago back in the early 90s.

Yes indeed! Meshelle is a force! And the musicians she chooses to be around understand the assignment

KEEP POSTING THESE!! You have a great band with amazing artists sitting in for a night or a week on the regular. Share it with the people.

What an incredible group of musicians. Jon is and always will be amazing, but Louis Cato has stepped right up. Look forward to seeing Stephen interact with the band more and learning their names (like on Conan!)

In case you're interested,.... the current roster is: Louis Cato (bandleader/guitar); Endea Owens (bass); Negah Santos (percussion); Joe Saylor (drums); Jon Lampley (trumpet); Louis Fouché (sax); and Corey Bernhard (keyboards). Most if not all of them are multi-instrumentalists. I watched Endea Owens do a Tiny Desk Concert before I got who she was. They're all so amazing.

Love how the band actually know they are playing with a…LEGEND✊🏾 She needs to tour!🙏🏾 Fantastic performance & special shout out to that TRUMPET PLAYER…he seems to actually be enjoying himself.

I totally agree with others, please give us more of this. What a fantastic band! Talent everywhere on that stage!

Almost every time The Late Show has a musical guest, I go "Who?" Then I hear them and go "OMG" Mind blowing, almost all of the musical acts that come on, mind blowing! Whoever does the musical bookings for this show, you're not being paid enough!!!

You can't go wrong with the Late Show taste in music. Every time LSSC has introduced me to someone I have never heard of, it has been amazing

Saw Meshelle live back in 2003 and she still has that shyt that nobody can EFF with

I had no idea the band could jam out that well! Diggin this big time. Maybe they should tell that Colbert guy to let the band do more music on the show.

I'd be surprised if they couldn't. They're all first-call jazzers who can play their asses off, plus they get one thing most jazz bands, even the best, don't - regular practice as a band.

I heard there was a complicated contractual rights problem with allowing some of these live performances to be aired on TV. Apparently they have found a way to get around that for KZread!!!

That bass harmony MeShell hits at 4:52 is part of what makes her such an essential part of why bass guitars do it for me.

100% LOVE Meshell Ndegeocello : This jam is the BEST jam!!!!!

This is something you should do every darn day! Louis Cato and the band rock on every genre they play - an absolutely outstanding band.

Wow!!! Incredible performance my ears are swimming in the sweetness

I LOVE HER! Her album, "Peace Beyond Passion" is my favorite funk & soul music ever, and I've been around since the days of Sly & the Family Stone. And as a bass player, I could only hope that my playing could ever reach the depths of emotion she exhibits. BRILLIANT!!

It's wonderful when Louis and Meshell lock back in at 4:55 - great resolve - absolutely love this

She is a LEGEND

Awesome uplift...Great space Bass placement by upright electric duo. Whole band...Damn👌❤️🌟

Louis is so effing cool. I loved Jon's work, but Louis is the long-term band leader in my eyes. Such wonderful energy and brilliant, broad, engaging skills, and a fantastic ability to integrate these guest artists.

Well, that was as refreshing as an unexpected gentle rainshower. In Texas. Thanks for this! Anyway we could have this more often. Nice seeing her in the mainstream.

This is Meshell Ndegeocellos' 30th Anniversary in the music business. I believe she's had that same bass for 30 years.

Phenomenal artist, Meshell is a magical being.

The tradition of late night talk shows and great bands is sustained. Kudos!

What a welcome surprise! An incredible album.

❤️‍🔥✨🤩✨Love, Love Meshell Ndegeocello🎉Thank 🌷🌻🌹, you all Rock!!!! ✨🙏🏽💞💕

That was absolutely freakin' awesome. Plus Meshell too. Luis Cato and the band were killin' it.

This is better than The Lateshow could possibly deserve. Incredible!

Meshell Ndegeocello always one of my forever favorites! That trumpet solo was sweet too!

Just listened to Meshell's Omnichord Realbook...blown away & then this in my recommended youtube list - blown away again, what a track & what a band!!!

True artist and musician who greatly influenced me as a bassist back in the day. Rad.

A mayyyyyyyzing. Down to Earth but very cosmic sounding also

Yes! That's what I'm talking bout! Real musicianship. Thank you Colbert for highlighting her incredible music. More people need to know about this incredible artist!

YEAH! real music from real musicians!

Wow this was a whole vibe! The whole band was jammin'.

Incredibly criminally underrated… lover her ❤

Amazing to see / hear Meshell here ❤

Meshell is a goddess no doubt - very impressed also by LouisCato and the band - these guys are all top of their game

That .................................... was amazing!

Thank you for having this AWESOME Artist here on your show!!! HAVE LOVED HER SINCE INCEPTION. LOVE ME'SHELL'S FACE WHEN SHE IS REALLY FEELING IT! Band is great too!!!

This is Amazing TV. Thank Goodness for Meshell . Fantastic Group of Musicians .

Awesome. Please post these more frequently. She has an amazing voice

wow, this is amazing, what a jam! Awesome!

Great idea. Keep posting these "commercial break" videos. The band is so excellent.

Meshell Ndegeocello. Amazing.

Yes. Thank you. More Louis & Co. complete performances Please.

John Lampley sounding great as always on the trumpet!

Fantastic!!!. Every time you come back from the commercial break we catch the end of great music. Hope you continue to do this

I just love her ...I'm still listening to the anthropology cookies album...it's sure banging.

HOLY CRAP! YOU ANSWERED MY REQUEST! FREAKIN' COLBERT!

YES! 🙌🙌 more music spotlight please!

such a wonderful band ;luck for her;luck for them!Nice happening!

Good stuff. Real music.

Wow I love this. The bassplayer in the houseband rocks and she has a beautiful sound.

It's amazing how her music transients! Comfort Woman... Love this album

It's one of my favorite songs of hers. I'm really happy to be able to see this song performed live. When she came to Japan, she had just released her "Comet, Come to Me" album and it was a really fun show. I still remember the shock I felt when she debuted, and I love all of her albums.

What a treat! I have missed that voice so much.

I'm crying, it's just so good.

This was really impressive. Wish we heard more stuff like this on late night TV.

Love!! Cato is amazing musical leader (and as cute as can be❤)

Few things rock more than a band with TWO bassists! (Yes I know one is a special guest, but still damn cool!)

Love Meshell, Beautifully performed 🎉❤

AMAZING!!!

It's been too long since the last one of these. Very glad to see a new one. ❤

Freakin tight musicians. Awesome jam.

Amazing! Peace from Detroit MI.

Superb!❤❤❤Especially the sista on upright! #MeshellGeniusFlow

Thank you! And please post more of Meshell’s performance! I watched the day it happened and was sad to not watch the entire songs.

absolutely fucking brilliant !!!! Huge props to guitar man! Never knew your depth!

This is amazing. I'm so glad to hear this. I will investigate her music further. How many times have I complained that there's no good music out there anymore? Now I know it's just a lack of me being involved. And that dude on the trumpet just WRECKED it - wow

WOW WOW WOW I’ll take as much of that as you’ve got. Funky, cool, talent, I’m out of words.

Great music, all the way!

This was a better performance than many of the artists you have promoted on the show! Whoever is responsible for posting here needs to ensure this is a regular feature. Due my schedule I rarely get to see the show at broadcast so I rely heavily on the clips you post. Fantastic performance!

So much yes!

1:09 / 6:36 Meshell Ndegeocello is an amazing musician, wish more people knew of her.

She is legend.

Beautiful 😍😍😍

legendary performance

Oh, this was fabulous! MORE OF THESE, PLEASE!

Meshell is ❤.

So cool ❤

I'm just breathless -- y'all go 'head
