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.

Lloyd Glenn:

Nice clip, but the sound seemed muffled.   Rather simple arrangement.   The other one , the noise just got to me.   Never did hear 'Sleigh Ride'.    The comments were over the top, so I guess he was very popular at one time.

I may as well confess now, I purchased Jon Batiste's Christmas CD.

Cheers

Reminds me:

This LP and this song was the first music I fell in love with. I think my brother got it from some record club back in the day. Still have it on LP and CD. For some reason the CD’s sound sucks. Some of the most beautiful music ever made.
