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 still getting into New Orleans culture because it's new to me. Right now I'm fascinated by "Second Lines"; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpKiuVVXXeA&t=14s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG6KH905cGU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HXFzkX8sOY Since I'm not a native of NOLA, I'm sure any one who is, can find "Second Lines" better than what I posted. Please join in. |

The first time I heard "Ode To Billy Joe", I was crossing a bridge in Mississippi in my brand new "Duece" (Electra 225), and I was sure it was the Tallahatchie Bridge, but since I was coming into Hattiesburg, as I discovered much later, that was not it. I have never heard a version of this song I didn't like; I wonder if it's because I was so busy spending my misspent youth. I wish I could spend all over again? Gene Harris can make anything sound good. For old time sake here is the original; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nv33eaygVDQ |
Rok, here's a tour of St. Louis, where I used to live, and loved it when I lived there 20 years ago; it's where I was born. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TEi0nJP5BE |
