Social Music

Social Music is the 2013 album from esteemed musician Jon Batiste (piano/vocals/harmonabord) and his band Stay Human comprised of Joe Saylor (drums/tambourine), Eddie Barbash (alto saxophone/vocals), and Ibanda Ruhumbika (tuba/trombone). The album was produced by Jeff Jones (Wynton Marsalis, Norah Jones, Dr. John, Eric Clapton, Public Enemy) with Jon Batiste. With his soulful voice, virtuosic piano chops and dapper sense of style, Jon Batiste transcends music genres and has ignited the music scene. Although he comes from a renowned lineage of New Orleans musicians, over in the last decade he has forged his own artistic path by indelibly fusing himself within the fabric of New York City culture. At 26, Jon is the Artistic Director At Large for the National Jazz Museum in Harlem and has also received a Masters Degree from the Juilliard School.
