Jon Batiste is a jazz musician and so much more. A multi-talented artist who always comes up with catchy tunes and combines jazz, pop, classical and R&B in his infectious songs.

His album "World Music Radio", which was released last summer, is exactly what the name promises - a musical journey around the world. Batiste's music transports you to distant worlds, yet exudes a comforting familiarity. Sometimes it's poppy sounds, then pulsating Afrobeats and finally soft soul tones or smooth jazz reach the ears.

Big emotions and catchy sounds: Henry Moodie has made the leap - from TikTok star to celebrated chart topper. In his songs, he sings about heartache, vulnerability, fears, longings, dreams and hopes. His lyrics speak from the souls of an entire generation, touching and striking a chord with today's teens.

The 20-year-old Englishman now has 6.4 million followers on TikTok, and his melancholy pop songs strike a chord with them. The celebrated newcomer started out during the lockdown, when he was still posting cover songs on TikTok. The cover songs became his own songs. The singer-songwriter has created masterpieces that have transcended the short lifespan of TikTok and have become firm favorites in the global charts.

Tonight, both artists will warm up the crowd at the Montreux Jazz Festival. Henry Moodie will take to the stage of the Casino at 8.30 pm and Jon Batiste will showcase his talent on the Lake Stage at around 10 pm. Great emotions are guaranteed. And the best thing is: you can now watch both concerts live - from the comfort of your sofa on free TV on blue Zoom or here in the stream.
