Jon Batiste – Beethoven Blues (CD) artist-grahame-lesh Casey Jones (4:24)Jon Batiste grew up steeped in the New Orleans piano tradition, a lineage that runs from Professor Longhair through Dr. John and beyond, and that foundation is exactly what makes this collision with Beethoven feel earned rather than gimmicky. Where most classical crossover projects sand down the edges, Batiste leans into the blues DNA that connects both traditions, the emotional directness that Beethoven himself never shied away from. 2024 release. 5x
