I like Payton a lot. Have a lot of his CDs. I think his idol is Pops.

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 if "the street" ever voted this guy best trumpet player. I think not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHAfhPrrKHA Cheers |
"Pops" is still number 1 on official lists, but those who place him number 1 on the street have died out. If he had played hard-bop he would be number 1 on the street now. Another kind of New Orleans music I like is "Voodoo music". In the South, I believe they call it "Hoo-Doo". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZePgj6rLV5k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KIscg0L7PA&list=PL16276A94A9205B1E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lb8DlC3utYE |
Enjoyed the Papa Mali and Redbone chant. Got to be in the mood for it though. If you like the Neville Brothers you'll probably like the Subdudes. Bought the CD for their name and really enjoyed the music. https://youtu.be/alcK9ZgykLs https://youtu.be/jdXC2JoEmn8 |
I'm sure everyone has seen this, but if not, look up Ken Burns Jazz on Amazon prime. They spend a lot of time in NOLA, since it's the birthplace and all. Great history lesson on jazz, most of it from early on. https://www.pbs.org/kenburns/jazz/episode-guide |
