Jon Batiste has released his ninth studio album BIG MONEY, which follows last year’s Beethoven Blues (Batiste Piano Series, Vol. 1) (2024). Co-produced by Batiste and Dion “No I.D.” Wilson, the album features guest contributions by Andra Day (“LEAN ON MY LOVE”) and Randy Newman (“LONELY AVENUE”).

“However you interpret the songs, you can’t help feeling them,” Batiste reflects in an official statement. “You can’t help accepting an invitation into the tent. Come in and have fun…some deeply serious fun.”

To support BIG MONEY’s release, Batiste will hit the road for The BIG MONEY Tour: Jon Batiste Plays America, which commences August 27th in Kansas City and concludes October 31st in Washington DC.
