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.

Snooks ranks among the best in the blues world. Nice rendition of a beautiful tune.

Nice clip

Cheers

Reminds me:

This LP and this song was the first music I fell in love with. I think my brother got it from some record club back in the day. Still have it on LP and CD. For some reason the CD’s sound sucks. Some of the most beautiful music ever made.

Thanks for the memories.

I've got Glen on CD that's all cleaned up, and it sounds good, but I had the same thoughts about those cuts when I posted them.

Rok, it's strictly a "New Orleans thing", and you have to be from there to understand it.

I love the music.   I can do without the rest of it.    And all this time I thought the civil rights movement started in Montgomery, Alabama with Miss Rosa Parks and the bus boycott.    Silly me.

Good info, but have your salt shaker at the ready.

Cheers
