The Empty Chair at the Jazz Club

Verse 1 (smoky, jazzy guitar riff · vocal upfront, intimate, slight rasp)
Another night, another velvet booth.
They still pour your gin, you know?
The bartender shakes his head,
he says I’m the only loyal customer left.
I told him loyalty
is just a nice word for stuck.


---

Pre-Chorus (minimal trip-hop drums enter: dusty kick, brushed snare, vinyl hiss, sidechained sub)
I swear I saw your shadow
by the exit sign, flicking ashes.
I almost called your name,
but darling, you don't answer calls
from this side of the grave.


---

Hook (epic but restrained · horns swell without triumph · heavy, non-uplifting sub-bass · late phrasing)
It's just the empty chair at the jazz club,
the only kind of heartbreak I still understand.
The band plays blue, the way you always liked it,
and I'm dancing slow with your ghost again.

(Repeat Hook)


---

Bridge (tempo pulls back · isolated electric piano · spoken word · audible breath)
They say time heals.
But if it did,
I’d have nothing left to drink to.

Funny thing is…
I don’t miss you.
I miss the version of me
that still waited.


---

Hook (drums hit harder · full, mournful brass section · maximum sub-bass presence)
It's just the empty chair at the jazz club,
the only kind of heartbreak I still understand.
The band plays blue, the way you always liked it,
and I'm dancing slow with your ghost again.


---

Outro (fade to silence · distorted vinyl scratch · weary whisper)
…Guess I'll have one more for the road.
Your road.

In 2020, Jon Batiste redefined what it means to be productive. 
Recording and releasing two Grammy-nominated albums, check. 
Cultural and social advocacy, check. Band leading and music directing on the Late Show, check. Practicing, learning, sharing, growing, check.
 
Was he done there? Batiste? Nah. 
 
He decided to build a studio in his dressing room at the renowned Ed Sullivan Theater and invited a few talented friends—including singer-songwriter Autumn Rowe and producer Kizzo—to lay the blueprint for what is destined to become a seminal masterpiece of black pop American music, his forthcoming album, WE ARE. Not to mention, he put all of this together in 6 days. Again, redefining productivity. 
 
He ended the year with his music and likeness being centrally featured in the Disney/Pixar film Soul. His composing and songwriting will be featured in his large-scale, genre-melding symphonic work “American Symphony,” set to premiere at Carnegie Hall in 2021 and he has been developing a broadway musical about the life of famed painter Jean-Michel Basquiat.
 
Jon balances a demanding performance schedule—which often includes his signature ‘love riot’ street parades—with public speaking engagements, masterclasses, brand partnerships, community activism, and acting roles. In the wake of George Floyd's murder and in the lead up to the election, he organized several peaceful protest marches, leading thousands in the streets of New York City. He played himself on the HBO series Tremé and appeared in Spike Lee’s Red Hook Summer and Da Sweet Blood of Jesus.
