Jon Batiste stands as one of the most extraordinary and prolific musicians in history. His musical journey has been nothing short of remarkable. In 2018, the world recognized his brilliance as he earned a Grammy nomination in the Best American Roots category. But that was just the beginning.
Fast forward to 2020, and Jon Batiste's name was on everyone's lips. He received not one, but two Grammy nominations for his outstanding work on the albums "CHRONOLOGY OF A DREAM: LIVE AT THE VILLAGE VANGUARD" and "MEDITATIONS" (a collaboration with Cory Wong). The accolades didn't stop there. That same year, he clinched an Academy Award for Best Original Score for the Disney/Pixar sensation, "SOUL." This achievement was all the more special because he shared this honor with the accomplished composers Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.
Jon's contributions to "SOUL" didn't go unnoticed, as he added a Golden Globe, a BAFTA, a NAACP Image Award, and a Critic's Choice Award to his ever-growing list of accomplishments. His Oscar win made history, placing him in the esteemed company of legendary jazz musician Herbie Hancock as the second black composer to claim an Academy Award for composition.
Batiste's sonic journey continued with the release of his latest studio album, "WE ARE," in March 2021, which was met with resounding critical acclaim. The album's release was nothing short of a game-changer, as he secured an astonishing eleven Grammy nominations across seven diverse categories - a feat never before witnessed in Grammy history. And to top it off, he walked away with five of those Grammys, including the prestigious Album of the Year award.
Join us as we delve deeper into the remarkable career of Jon Batiste, a musician whose talent knows no bounds, and whose contributions to the world of music and film continue to amaze and inspire.

Played his own version of the American Anthem!!!! Love it!!!!!!

[@lntraveler264]

Part of me wishes I was there because Jon oozes talent, grace and beauty. It would be so awesome to hear him play in person!! The other part of me wonders if I wouldn't have popped out of my chair from having it drilled into me as a kid to always stand for the national anthem.😆. Can we adopt Jon's version for every football game, every olympics, every ceremony, every everything?

[@jackiebinns6205]

So awesome seeing Jon and his family his wife looks great 😍😍

Jon Batiste. All Véro moments reflect the love he deserves. Him and his family. His value, his kind, loving and caring soul. And, of course, an incredibly talented musician. His beautiful smile is bringing warmth to his work. It is a deserved honour for him and his family to represent the best the USA have to offer; and it is an honour for the USA to have him and his family represent a classy, talented, honest and intelligent side of the society. Bravo!
