Beethoven Blues [CD], Jon Batiste, CD

2024 release. 5x Grammy and Oscar-winner Jon Batiste returns with a pure piano album, Beethoven Blues (Batiste Piano Series, Vol. 1). Reimagining the transcendent works of Ludwig van Beethoven, alongside original compositions inspired by Batiste's youth competing in local piano competitions and gigging in the heart of New Orleans, the album extends timeless classics across the genre spectrum. It is a way of paying homage to Beethoven's artistry and bringing it into a singular moment, in true creative partnership with Batiste's artistic work and journey.
