Rok, I'm beginning to see what you're talking about, could you submit more of the old original source music that you have in your collection?
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.

Well, we should all know most of the Jazz greats. Early R&R and R&B pioneers would be folks like Lloyd Price, Huey Piano Smith, Professor LongHair, Ernie K-Doe etc..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sxnXO2RjVg The best CD I have is LOUISIANA SCRAPBOOK, but I can't find it on you-tube. I have a few from Rounder records, I will have to search for them. Preservation Hall Jazz Band was authentic, but now tourist. I have two by them. Let's not forget Zydeco. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igdOIce6UdE Maybe not New Orleans, but surely Louisiana. More clips later. Cheers |
What you submitted is inclusive, and I'll follow it up with more Louisiana music. What I'm looking for is the guys that followed "Pops" to Chicago, or was it Pops that followed King Oliver to Chicago. I'm not too sharp on that, but you get where I'm coming from. After I check my encyclopedias, I'll get back to you. |

Storyville is where this book begins about jazz from NOLA (gonna make everybody happy) with Buddy Bolden and Jelly Roll Martin, it also mentions the Oliver- Ory band. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UgBhOkUSlw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfORYuSJXTY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0u6vk3mqD70 I'm going to try and look at this music in a different light to see what I can find that I like. |
