Jon Batiste | Broken Record

Jon Batiste is an overachiever. Batiste is the bandleader on "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" and an Oscar-winning composer for the Pixar animated movie, "Soul." He also received the highest number of Grammy nominations this year, with eleven, including Album of the Year for his most recent release, "We Are."
On today’s episode, Bruce Headlam talks to Jon Batiste about what it was like coming up as a young musician in legendary New Orleans bar rooms. Batiste also reminisces about setting up a piano in the midst of Brooklyn protests after George Floyd’s murder. And he explains what it meant to have Obama call him personally after hearing his new album.
