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.

Favorite Aaron  Neville:

With his brothers for sure.   This is one of my favorite CDs, YELLOW MOON.  Terrible tune.

Just my personal taste, but these guys don't make bad music.   It's all good.
Gregory Porter:

Nice song and performance.   But as I get older the crooning style appeals less and less to me.   I like the more upbeat stuff.

Cheers

Folks, the subject is "Jazz" from "Nawlins" (Rok's preferred spelling) NOLA sounds good to me, but I think we all know the town we're talking about. Jon Batiste was the first prime example; followed by Allen Toussaint's "The Bright Mississippi". From time to time this trolley might jump the tracks; that's OK, I'll just set it back on the tracks and we keep on rolling.

Here is an example of the prime subject;
