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.

orpheus10"No Rok, the cities epitomize the breakdown of the lower middle class economically; Black people in the cities are just in the spotlight. Lower middle class rural Whites are overdosing and finding other ways to do themselves in because they can't make a living."

The whole USA is just about falling apart isn't it?

I'm not going to weigh in on which instrument is the most important in jazz. But I'm surprised Bill Evan's and Thelonious Monk haven't been mentioned  with Miles Davis and John Coltrane.

Nikonnola, there are no most important instruments; only most important musicians.
