popmag000578-hollywoodafricans

Jon Batiste has published his brilliant LP “Hollywood Africans”. The acclaimed pianist and vocalist rose to prominence in 2015 when he became the bandleader of The Late Show. “Hollywood Africans” was recorded in a church in his native New Orleans and the result is an intimate portrait of Jon Batiste who is skillfully weaving classical and jazz music. The album title comes from a 1983 painting by Basquiat, another great artist drawing from all his influences. For more info, including tour dates, go to jonbatiste.com
