Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music.

Besides, you will go gaga over anything with the word Nica in the title. :)

Cheers

For NOLA music royalty like Allen Toussaint, Dr John, Art Neville and Liinel Baptiste they have multiple second lines all over the city at different times. They had 2 for Art Neville last Friday after a few more earlier in the week. One of the largest second lines we had was for David Bowie after he died. That one was lead by Win  Butler of Arcade Fire. 

History is what makes this music.

So many wonderful you tube clips have been linked here. This thread should serve as a model for others to come. Sure beats the typical sniping and in-fighting so common today.

Rather than post another clip (which I don't know how to do anyway) I would direct your attention to the album "Classified" remixed and expanded by James Booker. Enigma that he was, he stands out in a sea of uniquely talented NO pianists. His style is effortless and his command of the instrument is total. He was instrumental:) in the training and development of Harry Connick Jr.

Rok, you hit the nail dead on the head about Nica.


I am so glad I started this thread; not long ago I would not have appreciated those clips you presented in regard to history, but now, I will delve as deep as I can into each little tid-bit.

Thanks!
