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.

I've had Abbey is Blue on my play-list for sometime. While Dianne Reeves exuberant afro-centric performance was best if you were there, Abbey's version is best in the seclusion of one's room. That song tells a story; while Dianne's is the most exciting, Abbey's tells the story the best; 6 on one hand, a half dozen in the other, it depends on what mood you're in.

Every time I see this I fall in love with Lizz Wright, but I like the rest of the woman as well;

Today's Listen:

Terence Blanchard -- A TALE OF GOD'S WILL (a requiem for katrina)

Beautiful music.   Typical left-wing liner notes.

I don't think he received proper credit for this effort.   This is really good.

Guess that's what happens when a natural disaster in politicized.

Katrina was Gods will, the wall is questionable; what was not Gods will was the response after the disaster. I saw that none response for three days on National TV.

If I tell you water is coming over a wall behind me, and you take a week to throw me a rope, you want me to drown.

I saw those bodies floating that should have long ago been safely rescued. I know the resources that were available for disaster that were never called upon and so does everyone else who was a medic in the Air Force, Navy, or the Army.

Did God will for the White House not to pick up the phone? Could the fact that most of the people suffering were Black have anything to do with it?
