Ibanda Ruhumbika on CBS's Late Night better than NBC!

I don't get too deep into the Late Night TV wars, but after seeing the Roots Band for a while on NBC's Tonight Show and now after a few weeks of Stephen Colbert's Late Show on CBS - I think Ibanda Ruhumbika with the Stay Human band is getting much better mixing.
Tuba Gooding Jr. is usually lost deep in the mix unless he is some sort of goofy feature on the Tonight Show - Ibanda is getting clean "up front" tuba playing on many of the break and feature songs. True, sometimes he is relegated to playing tambourine or other miscellaneous instruments, but he is getting a lot of great tuba chops on the TV!
I like this development.
