Jon Batiste is an extraordinary Juilliard-trained musician who grew up in a musical family from one of America’s greatest music towns, New Orleans. Yes he’s the musical director of the Late Show with Stephen Colbert but he’s a brilliant musician in his own right. He’s got a new album called We Are so we talk about music and how to make it.
