Jon Batiste is gearing up for a massive creative run with three new albums on they. First up is Black Mozart, dropping June 19, where Batiste flips Mozart's music through the lens of Black American styles- jazz, blues, ragtime, stride and the kind of improvisation that pushes piano music forward. Two more albums arrive August 14, both inspired by Thelonious Monk and built around Batiste's deep connection to Monk's rhythmic and harmonic ideas. Each project takes a different angle, showing how Batiste blendds classical foundations with the raw energy and freedom of modern improvisation. Together, the releases mark a bold, genre-bending stretch from one of today's most inventive musicians- bringing tradition, innovations, and the spirit of exploration that drives great music.
