Offbeat
Batiste has long been known for his versatility. The cuts on Social Music play like a book of short stories. They each boast different themes, yet are obviously written by the same author or, in the case of this album, created by the same musician.

Revivalist Exclusive: Jon Batiste & The Rise Of Social Music So the concept of bringing all of these musical genres and traditions into this blend is to bring as many people into the fold as we can. There’s a spirit of inclusiveness. If you don’t like jazz but you like rock or whatever there will still be something in it for you.

Pollstar
Jon Batiste Talks ‘Social Music’“The Harmonaboard [Melodica] is something I love. It’s not a piano by any means. It’s portable enough to work out ideas and figure out melodies so I like to have that with me wherever I go”
