SummerStage Presents Jon Batiste & Stay Human/Hypnotic Brass Ensemble
to
This is a FREE show. Tickets are not required. First come, first in, until the venue reaches capacity.
Jon Batiste has collaborated with the likes of Prince, Cassandra Wilson, Lauryn Hill, Wynton Marsalis, Jimmy Buffet, Eve, Lenny Kravitz, ?uestlove, and Asher Roth. He most recently put out the EP MY NY with Stay Human in 2011, a set that was recorded live in the Manhattan subway system.
Stay Human, Batiste's musical collective that's now a quartet, has evolved over the past eight years, running the spectrum from a jazz trio to a quintet to a big band with horns.
Social Music (Razor & Tie), is their new album and both the title of the album and the name of the band are telling. "For me, what we're doing is a calling, bringing people to an understanding that loving one another is how we are called to be," he says.
