“When Stephen Colbert introduced Jon Batiste as his Late Show bandleader earlier this month, most people reacted with some variation of “Who the hell is Jon Batiste?" Little did we know then that he's one of the greatest musical minds of his generation, a Juilliard-trained New Orleans jazz prodigy, an at-large creative director for the National Jazz Museum in Harlem, and a thoughtful, genuine, relentlessly positive champion of music's ability to change the world. Oh, and he's only 28 years old." —Esquire

The National Jazz Museum in Harlem, in its 15th year, continues to offer educational programs, exhibits, and community events to an international audience. 2015 has been a year of great achievements for the museum, with a record-setting gala concert in the spring, a move to a new location later this year that will greatly increase its visibility, new exhibits and an ever-growing list of partnerships.
Entertainment will be provided by pianist, bandleader, composer, and educator Jonathan Batiste, who began his role as bandleader for the CBS nighttime talk show The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on September 8th.
