Editor's note

PJ Morton's gospel roots and soulful keyboard

A New Orleans musician who blends gospel, R&B, and jazz without staying in one lane.

For a good sense of his range, try 'Only One' with Stevie Wonder and the earlier 'First Began'. Both show what he does well.

Morton's music feels lived-in because it never forgets where it started. You can hear that church keyboard in 'Only One' with Stevie Wonder, and in the personal writing of 'First Began'. He works with people like Yolanda Adams but keeps his sound grounded.

He began playing at his father's church in New Orleans at 11. Kirk Whalum brought him into his band in 2002, and his first solo album 'Emotions' came out in 2005. Since then he's recorded tracks like 'Trade It All' and worked with Stevie Wonder.
