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.

https://youtu.be/l1vFZ6Wal3g Dr John could pronounce it anyway he wanted. But when other people not from NOLA do they sound ridiculous |
So far, "Allen Toussaint's" music is the most interesting. I find the way he incorporates New Orleans history, musically, is something very few can do; I can hear Louis Armstrong, and the swagger of the "Second Line" in the music of "The Bright Mississippi". I can also hear that Southern "Swing Blues", which is the Blues with that New Orleans lilt. |
Lady Marmalade, the only person I actually know from new Orleans. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6iHsz12OHA Git yo ya ya here! Cheers |
