Jon Batiste is an extraordinarily gifted and eclectically talented musician and artist who gives an outstanding show, crossing numerous genres on multiple instruments. There is none other like him, even when he plays portions of a Prince song. Amazing show that incorporates the audience into his energy exceptionally well! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Jon Batiste Biography
Jon Batiste is one of history’s most brilliant, prolific, and accomplished musicians. Batiste
studied and received both a B.A. and M.F.A. at the world-renowned Juilliard School in New York
City. From 2015 until 2022, Batiste served as the bandleader and musical director of The Late
Show with Stephen Colbert on CBS. Most recently, Jon was awarded a Sports Emmy in the
category of “Outstanding Open/Tease” for his 2022 NCAA March Madness piece. In 2018, he
received a Grammy nomination for Best American Roots, and in 2020, he received two Grammy
nods for the albums: CHRONOLOGY OF A DREAM: LIVE AT THE VILLAGE VANGUARD and
MEDITATIONS (with Cory Wong). In 2020, he won an Academy Award for Best Original Score for
the Disney/Pixar film SOUL, an honor he shared with fellow composers Trent Reznor and Atticus
Ross. Jon’s work on SOUL also earned him a Golden Globe, a BAFTA, a NAACP Image Award and
a Critic’s Choice Award. He is the second black composer in history, after legendary jazz
musician Herbie Hancock, to win an Academy Award for composition. Batiste’s latest studio
album, WE ARE, was released in March 2021 to overwhelming critical acclaim. Subsequently, he
was nominated for eleven Grammys across seven different categories, a first in Grammy
history. He went on to win five of those Grammys, including Album of the Year.
