Jazz pianist and vocalist Jon Batiste has had an outstanding year topped by winning the Oscar and Bafta for best original score with Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross for Soul.
Batiste's EP Live at Electric Lady is part of a Spotify series recorded at the legendary studio in New York. And with Batiste are from the Second Great Miles Davis Quintet Ron Carter, NTU Troop legend Gary Bartz, and the alto saxophonist who was significant in the late-period career of Miles Davis, Kenny Garett, among the personnel.
The EP partly re-spins We Are, Batiste's album released this year, and adds a number of covers included a treatment of Stevie Wonder's 'Pastime Paradise' recorded at the famed studio where Jimi Hendrix made history. Tracks are We Are (with Kenny Garrett); I Need You (Ron Carter, Jon Batiste, Joe Saylor [percussionist from Batiste's Stay Human]); Golden Slumbers (Gary Bartz, Ron Carter); Cry (Gary Bartz, Ron Carter); Lose Yourself To Dance (Kenny Garett, Ron Carter); Whatchutalkinbout (Ron Carter); Pastime Paradise (Kenny Garett) and Prince (Ron Carter, Kenny Garett).
