Times In New Orleans

Jon Batiste

A nineteen-year-old prodigy exploring the shadows of New Orleans. Long, improvisational stretches of piano-led jazz that feel humid, nocturnal, and deeply searching.

A humid, nocturnal exploration of jazz tradition that feels both respectful and restlessly inventive.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the piano melody fractures and rebuilds itself during the ten-minute sprawl of Misunderstood.
The rhythmic shift into the Afro Version of Body and Soul where the familiar standard takes on a percussive, earthy weight.
The frantic, angular piano runs on Straight No Chaser that showcase a young prodigy testing his technical limits.
