Jon Batiste

This Louisiana pianist-singer has an extensive resume: a master's degree from Julliard, he's served as artistic director at Harlem's National Jazz Museum and even acted in HBO's Emmy-nominated Treme. Add to that list, "Late Night" stardom, as he recently started a new role as the bandleader for Late Night With Stephen Colbert. Here, he steps away from leading his acclaimed band Stay Human, to run through a solo set of his catchy, easygoing blend of NOLA jazz, modern funk and retro soul.
