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.

If you can't win the argument, change the subject; that sounds like politics 101 to me.

On to more good trumpet player from New Orleans. (Between me and you, I was in basic training with this guy named Petrie from Nawlins, that's the way he pronounced it, and he was born in New Orleans, had that accent that let you know it) Maybe things done changed since that time.

Nicholas Payton was born 1973 in New Orleans, and he's a top rated trumpet player;

I like Payton a lot.    Have a lot of his CDs.   I think his idol is Pops.

Cheers

"Pops" is still number 1 on official lists, but those who place him number 1 on the street have died out. If he had played hard-bop he would be number 1 on the street now.

Another kind of New Orleans music I like is "Voodoo music". In the South, I believe they call it "Hoo-Doo".
