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.

I think Marcia missed the essence of the song. The sax solo was totally out of place.

A great Group

My mom worked on the levees placing sandbags in Mississippi. Will always remember her stories.

Authenticity is very important in this song, and Aaron Neville takes us back to the top of a levee looking at the waters rushing by and rising at the same time.

This is a good time and thread for more Aaron Neville; what's your favorite?

This song by Gregory Porter impressed me, so did Lalah Hathaway;
