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.

"Beautiful music.  Typical left-wing liner notes."

We've already debated the political divisiveness that makes its way even into this otherwise wonderful forum.

Give it a rest rok.  It doesn't accomplish anything to say things like this.

Has Irma Thomas been mentioned? Love her, as does Bonnie Raitt and Lou Ann Barton.

Why does the Audiogon system unlined in red Raitt when I type it?!

Your statement is truer than you might think.  This situation is common in real life, not just here.  My siblings and I have lost many, many 'friends', because we don't think like we are 'supposed to think'.

So, as the great Nez Perce Chief, Hin-mah-too-yah-lat-kekt, popularly known as Chief Joseph, might have said, had he been into be-bop, "From where the sun now stands, I will comment no more forever".

Cheers

Certain subjects cause my blood pressure to rise, and that's not good; "No more forever sounds good to me"



That's the most incredible album ever; any time you can get two records without a bad note on either of them, that's spectacular.

I enjoy this record by the process of "osmosis"; that's when you sit and let the blue vibes soak into your spirit; that piano talks to my soul, it communicates with my inner self.
