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.

Well, O-10,
I guess these young people are getting in the way of people trying to "earn a living".

Cheers

Carolina Chocolate Drops:

Love her, and like the music.   The guy's outfits seem to be a little cartoonish.

I have several of their CDs.   "STILL I RISE"  is their attempt at the Delta Blues.   Pretty good CD.   Can't find it on youtube.

Nice clip.

I've had Abbey is Blue on my play-list for sometime. While Dianne Reeves exuberant afro-centric performance was best if you were there, Abbey's version is best in the seclusion of one's room. That song tells a story; while Dianne's is the most exciting, Abbey's tells the story the best; 6 on one hand, a half dozen in the other, it depends on what mood you're in.

Every time I see this I fall in love with Lizz Wright, but I like the rest of the woman as well;
