Saw a guy on there a couple times in early May 2022, African-American, he was wearing a green jacket. Plays open-handed. He backed up Michael Bublé along with some of the others in the house band. He took some minor crap in the Youtube comments, but I thought his playing was great. He was obviously sight-reading the Bublé big band chart, and Michael gave him just one cue to be quieter, which is all fine. I did think he needed a more defined and less washier ride cymbal, though
I'm also wondering who the bassist was. The pianist and guitarist were the regular members of the Late Late Show band.
Seems like that would be a great gig, at least for another year until James Corden leaves. Corden has a very nice repartee with the production staff and band, I enjoy that far more than the actual sketches and celebrity guests.
