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.

Great music and pictures.   Interesting to see how 'soloing' evolved in Jazz.   That was Ory playing in Pops hot five.
Great stuff.

STORYVILLE was supposed to be the BEST part of the city. :)

Jelly Roll Morton nailed it, when he said ’Jazz is a way of playing music’.

I just love the history, esp with pictures.

I wonder what the boys in the Hot Five would think of this.

I'm posting this just to point out that this was recorded the same year as KOB.  I never think of these two types of Jazz co-existing.

Who'd a thunk it.
