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.

So far, "Allen Toussaint's" music is the most interesting. I find the way he incorporates New Orleans history, musically, is something very few can do; I can hear Louis Armstrong, and the swagger of the "Second Line" in the music of "The Bright Mississippi".

I can also hear that Southern "Swing Blues", which is the Blues with that New Orleans lilt.
@rok2id , hey keep them samples coming, been real busy but what I have been able to sample has lit me up. Thanks
If you are interested in music from New Orleans you must own this one.   I remember the page the review was printed on in Stereo Review.   What a loss! (stereo review).
