At Ground Control in Paris, multi-award-winning artist Jon Batiste invites audiences into the vibrant interstellar universe of his album "World Radio." This is an irresistible performance filled with joy, groove, and musical spirit.
A New Orleans native and Juilliard-trained pianist, Batiste has become one of the most versatile voices in music today, from scoring Pixar's "Soul" ( which earned him an Oscar) to leading "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert's" band and sweeping up multiple Grammy awards, Batiste is known for his boundless energy and eclectic musical style.
In this unmissable concert, Batiste brings his brilliant concept album "World Music Radio" to life with a full orchestra and soaring vocals from Alani Gibbon. The album centers around an interstellar being, Billy Bob Bo, who explores life through a "potpourri of the far-flung musical languages of Earth and transmits it to the cosmos with chuckling." Between sets, gain insight into Batiste's creative inspiration and history with exclusive backstage interviews. Expect contagious rhythms, cosmic collaborations, and a joyous, genre-defying performance only Batiste can deliver.
