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.

Dr John could pronounce it anyway he wanted. But when other people not from NOLA do they sound ridiculous
