Beethoven, blues and gospel, Jon Batiste brings these three seemingly incompatible sounds together with ease on his new album. After all, breaking down genre boundaries has always been his specialty, from his Grammy-winning jazz/black music album "WE ARE" and its follow-up "World Music Radio" to more recent collaborations with Beyoncé, A$AP Rocky, Fireboy DML and Willow. On his solo piano album “Beethoven Blues,” Batiste now combines the musical influences of his native New Orleans with those of his classical studies at the renowned Juilliard School in New York. When Jon Batiste plays Beethoven, you hear his famous themes with completely new ears and will be  rewarded with soulful musical surprises.
