- This year, NPR Music is celebrating Black Music Month with an array of brand new Tiny Desk concerts - both from home and from behind our beloved Desk. Together, these artists represent the past, present and future of Black music. This month of carefully curated shows is a celebration of Black artists expressing themselves in ways we've never seen before, and of the Tiny Desk’s unique way of showcasing that talent.

A smile, laughter and a candle burning beside a delicate flower arrangement welcome us into the warm studio that is the set of James Francies’ Tiny Desk (home) concert. The young Houstonian and Blue Note recording artist begins with the hypnotic grooves of “713” - one of our picks for the best songs of 2021. This tune allows Francies’ virtuosic playing to shine, as he masterfully scales the keys during his solo. After a quick greeting, we’re whisked away by the luscious string ensemble that introduces “Rose Water.” Performed by vocalist Elliott Skinner, we’re lifted by Skinner’s voice as he sings beautifully of hope, support and growth: “I wish that you could see the light / That radiates in everyday…All the trials inside my mind / Shape me.”
Francies ends his set with “Sway/Freedmen’s Town.” The jazz trio plays while a recording of the voice of Francies’ father, James Francies Sr., tells the story of Freedmen’s Town, a historic district of Houston now known as Fourth Ward. It’s a fitting end to a Tiny Desk (home) concert that celebrates Black Music Month, a poignant and powerful reminder of how far we have come and what we still struggle against.

Here because his rendition of Chaka khans”Ain’t nobody” is one of the craziest things I’ve heard in the past 5 years
Everything this man touches turns into crazy diamonds. Sometimes I can't believe that he is real... that he is only human. Love him so much. 💖 And the vocalist with white hair is out of this world... All of these musicians are incredible.
I love Tiny Desk Concerts! I’ve discovered so many great artists and I’ve never been more satisfied with my Spotify playlists lol another great artist. Thank you for putting me on ❤️

When I say I love James Francies. TINY DESK. You never miss!! Not one bit.
I’m not sure I’ve ever heard a more beautiful song than Rose Water, my god!
Never seen a jacked jazz pianist 👏
This is astounding. The colors of the music...the moods/emotion it evokes...the musicianship...all of it is ethereal. So glad to be introduced to James Francies, and thanks to NPR for giving him their platform to share his magic.
Now there's two songs I love called Rose Water!
Funky, Fresh and a cool breeze all at the same time....Weekend afternoon cleaning the house music...
James is such a genius- I love to see him and his music getting recognized for what they are!
they play with time so lovely on that first one.
Love your voice Elliott Skinner 💙
Um... Wow! I have not listened to James Francies' playing before. Breathtaking! 🌸🎶
Elliott Skinner is an absolute beast!! His control of pitch and timbre is just otherworldly. He reminds me a lot of Yebba, another James Francies collaborater and another of my absolute faves!
