Jon Batiste: Solo in the Round

Overview

Jon Batiste, one of the most in-demand and recognizable jazz artists today, performs “Solo in the Round” for a unique, up-close-and-personal concert experience in the intimate Booth Playhouse.

Born into a long lineage of New Orleans musicians, Batiste has toured globally with his band Stay Human and currently appears nightly on national television as the bandleader and musical director on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” Jon is a Forbes 30 under 30 honoree, Musical Director for The Atlantic and Creative Director of the National Jazz Museum in Harlem. 

Batiste’s latest album "Social Music," spent over a month atop the Billboard and iTunes jazz charts as the #1 jazz album in the world. 

Recognized for his originality, jaw-dropping talent and dapper sense of style, Jon Batiste transitions from commanding the piano with virtuosic skill to soulfully crooning to wailing on the “harmonaboard” (a kind of harmonica and keyboard) to curating unique “social music” experiences all over the world.
