Jon Batiste - The Evening Collection '2022

Tracks list

       In 2020, Jon Batiste redefined what it means to be productive. Recording
and releasing two Grammy-nominated albums, check. Cultural and social advocacy,
check. Band leading and music directing on the Late Show, check. Practicing,
learning, sharing, growing, check. Was he done there? Batiste? Nah. He decided
to build a studio in his dressing room at the renowned Ed Sullivan Theater and
invited a few talented friends—including singer-songwriter Autumn Rowe
and producer Kizzo—to lay the blueprint for what is destined to become a
seminal masterpiece of black pop American music, his forthcoming album, WE ARE.
Not to mention, he put all of this together in 6 days. Again, redefining
productivity. He ended the year with his music and likeness being centrally
featured in the Disney/Pixar film Soul. His composing and songwriting will be
featured in his large-scale, genre-melding symphonic work “American
Symphony,” set to premiere at Carnegie Hall in 2021 and he has been
developing a broadway musical about the life of famed painter Jean-Michel
Basquiat. Jon balances a demanding performance schedule—which often
includes his signature ‘love riot’ street parades—with
public speaking engagements, masterclasses, brand partnerships, community
activism, and acting roles. In the wake of George Floyd's murder and in the lead
up to the election, he organized several peaceful protest marches, leading
thousands in the streets of New York City.
