Jon Batiste is one of the most fascinating artists working today. The seven-time Grammy winner released his latest album, Big Money, in August of this year, and soon after, he launched a tour in support of the record.

When The Big Money Tour made a stop at the Palace Theatre in St. Paul, Batiste took time to walk over to The Current studio for an in-depth interview with host Zach McCormick. During the course of the conversation, Batiste not only talks about making the album — including working with people including Randy Newman, No I.D., Nick Waterhouse and Cory Wong — but he also shares his deeply personal and spiritual connection to music itself. Batiste also shares his thoughts about what’s important to him in his life, in his music, and in his desire to reach out and help people connect with one another.
