Louis Cato, who took over from Jon Batiste as bandleader for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, is getting to drop his sophomore record.
Cato is releasing Reflections on August 11.
Cato has been with the CBS late-night show since its inception and took over from Batiste at the start of its eighth season, after filling in last summer.
Colbert called him “very humble”.
“He’s a musical genius. He can play basically every instrument over there. Give him an afternoon, he’ll learn how to play Mozart on a shoehorn,” the late-night host.
Reflections, which features the eponymous title track (see below), was recorded at Sugar Mountain Studios in Brooklyn, New York and was engineered by Jack DeBoe, who produced the record with Cato.
Cato studied at the Berklee College of Music in Boston and has played with the likes of John Legend, Talib Kweli, A Tribe Called Quest, Jack White and Bobby McFerrin.

Stephen Colbert announced on tonight’s The Late Show that Academy Award and Grammy winner Jon Batiste is departing after seven seasons to pursue personal and professional interests.
“We’ve been so lucky to have a front row seat to Jon’s incredible talent for the past seven years. And will we miss him here? ‘Yeaaa!’ But we’re happy for you, Jon, and I can’t wait to have you back on as guest with your next hit record,” Colbert said.
Batiste has been the Late Show bandleader since Colbert took over as host in 2015. His music career has been on a roll in the last two years as he won an Oscar in 2020 for his Soul score and won five Grammys this year, including Album of the Year.

One of the axioms of technology and show business is that content is king. That’s certainly true in Hollywood, where books adapted for film and television projects have never been hotter.
The development of Dune to Harry Potter through Game of Thrones, among many other projects, bears witness to that trend.
Entertainment attorney Jake Levy specializes in that realm. Over the years, Levy has facilitated many major film and TV deals for authors, such as John Grisham.
Levy talked with Deadline about the state of development from book sources.
Deadline: Do you think many authors are creating books with film and tv franchises in mind? Is that a good thing, or does it cheapen the art of writing?
Jake Levy: On a creative level, most authors with whom I speak are writing for their readers, and are not changing...
