Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music.


Jon Batiste is a musician Rok just introduced me to. From the first notes he played, I knew he was from Louisiana, with out knowing anything else about him.


Here's his bio https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Batiste


This is the tune Rok submitted;

It was one I will eagerly add to my collection. I thought I would share this with other music lovers seeking new artists.

Historical tidbit:

One of the clip's comments points out that the applause during Benny Bailey's solo was actually for Ella Fitzgerald entering the hall.   Wow!  You learn something everyday.

I have Trio Jeepy and tons of Wynton.   Just received music from the original soundtrack of 'Bolden' (buddy)  by Wynton Marsalis.
Back to the dawn of Jazz.

Saw Jon Batiste at the Village Vanguard and it was mind blowingly good.
