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.

Most people believe the trumpet is the most important instrument in jazz, followed by the sax. Dizzy Gillespie, a well known trumpet player, was a disciple of Roy Eldridge; South Carolina-born Dizzy was also a crucial figure in the birth of Latin jazz, and famed for his big band Afro-Cuban fusion sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhD_KJpRwAY |
Cuba Disco: Nice tunes and a pretty good singer. I think the guys around her were the pros, the ’Orchestra’ seemed to be for show. They didn’t contribute too much. Seemed awful young. A group that large should have had more presence and volume. Cuba does seem to spend a lot of effort on their young people. Gotta get them beholding to the regime early and often. Nice clip. Cheers |
