Fat Tuesday came to New York City in style as some of New Orleans’ finest musicians came together late on Tuesday night at the Blue Note jazz club for a special collaboration.

During Kermit Ruffins’ set, which went well into Wednesday morning, Late Show with Stephen Colbert bandleader Jon Batiste and Maurice “Mo Betta” Brown joined Ruffins for some late night jams.

Ruffins was on the second night of a three night run at Blue Note (the third will take place tonight) and returned the favor to Batiste by sitting in with his band Stay Human on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
