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.

You are a lot more adventurous than I am. I never think to buy foreign artists. All that Malian stuff is readily recognizable. Nice tune and production. I am so disgusted with Africa, I take it out on their music. One of my last purchases was: Nina Simone -- ESSENTIAL ORIGINAL ALBUMS Six albums on four CDs. Very nice packaging with booklet. I especially wanted this tune, that you posted some while ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1iUwR8_UNU Cheers |
BTW, there is nothing in the subject of this thread that says New Orleans, Nawlins or even New Or Leans. Anyway, there are probably more great musicians FROM New Orleans than there are currently IN New Orleans. Since you are an aficionado at heart, all good Jazz, and anything on Jazz' family tree, should be welcomed Cheers |
