5x Grammy® and Oscar® winner Jon Batiste returns with a pure piano album, Beethoven Blues (Batiste Piano Series, Vol. 1). Reimagining the transcendent works of Ludwig van Beethoven alongside original compositions inspired by Batiste's youth competing in local piano competitions and gigging in the heart of New Orleans, the album extends timeless classics across the genre spectrum.

A wide-ranging documentary that aims to put Monk's status into context and perspective. It blends the history of Monk's early career in Harlem with archival black-and-white footage of the pianist performing his own compositions for Norwegian and French TV.
