In Mississippi it's Nawlins. Since Mississippi is the final arbiter on all things Suthun, that's it.

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.

Wynton is probably the best "living" trumpet player, and he sure can play Nawlins music. Although I’m a "jazz aficionado", my focus has been primarily on what emanated from the northern cities, consequently I neglected Nawlins, considering it "Dixie Land" which was outside of my universe at the time of my introduction to jazz, which was a long time ago (1955). Now we all know what radio was like at that time, and everything from the south that was considered jazz was "Dixieland"; Consequently the wealth of music from New Orleans eluded me, now I’ve got a lot of catching up to do. Buddy Bolden is someone Nina Simone sang about, and this was my only awareness of Buddy Bolden. New Orleans jazz is a new beginning for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVXZryIKmQE |
I posted this on the other thread but it seems appropriate for this thread. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sOygJsLDc4&list=RDMM6sOygJsLDc4&start_radio=1 Cheers |
