Movie: American Symphony

Jon Batiste, who many people know as the former bandleader on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” is a gifted, multi-genre composer and the focus of this biographical documentary. Academy award winning in addition to gleaning Golden Globe, Critics Choice and Grammy awards, and more, the movie is a love story that takes us into Jon’s creative process, told against real-time, personal life events, including his wife’s cancer diagnosis and a random power outage during his one-night-only Carnegie Hall symphony performance. Rated PG-13. Running Time: 1 hour, 43 minutes.
