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 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.

Awesome thread.  Nothing like seeing some of these artists play on their own terf at the Maple Leaf, Howlin Wolf, or Tips.  I second Walter Wolfman Washington and Jon Cleary as both extremely awesome musicians.  Also want to throw out Kermit Ruffins (trumpet player who used to play at Vaughn’s north of FQ).  Galactic is still one of my favorite bands, and have grown in popularity, as has Trombone Shorty.  Definitely two artists to check out if you haven’t heard them.

Thanks Dserota, I'm interested in all things New Orleans. I've been led to believe that rich and famous people live in LA or New York, but I think quite a few live in New Orleans, and why do successful musicians from there stay there. It's for sure there is something about New Orleans that has not met my eye.

This man takes me back to New Orleans, and I've never been there;
