"Lonesome Lover" by Max Roach with his orchestra and chorus. I have never heard anything quite like it. By the acoustics, it sounds like it was recorded in a large room. All of the musicianship is great, but the chorus seems to add another element of a time gone by- at least that is how it sounds to me. I love it.
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 think this guy has promise, if he picks the right material. I first saw him on the Playing for Change version of stand by me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcsqhnpIByU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ip6SE0mtik https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5Rubq7vQkI Cheers |

Yo Rok, I found this on "You Tube"; it really encompasses New Orleans music, when I'm listening to it, I slide back in time to the better days I'm sure New Orleans has seen. Besides the music, it has a lot of interesting photographs. Post whatever you like and I'll respond. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U61BORipCoI |
