Piano recital encores: will this be a trend?

The last time I saw Yuja Wang in concert, she played the Art Tatum arrangement of "Tea for Two" as an encore. Now I just noticed that the Medici TV site has a Verbier recital from last month by "The Siberian Bear" (aka Dennis Matsuev - the 1998 Tchaikovsky Competition winner), where the last of his five encores is an improvisation (his own?) of Duke Ellington's "Take the 'A' Train". (This is preceded by an unbelievable rendition of Ginzburg's Fantasy on Figaro's aria from Rossini's "Barber of Seville".) Anyway, I'm wondering if these two concerts (and possibly others I'm not aware of), with their jazz encores, might be heralding a trend?
