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'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.

So I see people harping on Wynton, but I didn’t catch anyone mentioning his talented brother Delfeayo Marsalis (sp?). I’ve enjoyed listening to him and his band play at Snug Harbir In NO; a fine talent. Not to people’s tastes here?

For the OP:

Not so sure about the player personnel, but you can always stare at her picture on the cover.

I will forever be in love with Pannonica, and all jazz tunes with "Nica" in the title.
