https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Batiste from which comes this part...

About his 2024 album Beethoven Blues, Batiste told The New York Times that Beethoven's music "is so very African, filled with polyrhythms" and the "feeling" of the blues.
Batiste's original compositions on the album include "Dusklight Movement", inspired both by the "Moonlight" Sonata, and a bit by B.B. King's "The Thrill Is Gone".[18]
