Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music.

Where would we be without Wynton's band?  Too dreadful to consider.
 All these are from the CD:
The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra  -- THE MUSIC OF JOHN LEWIS 
featuring Jon Batiste.    He plays piano on all tracks.

@orpheus10 , thanks for the kind words, don't know if they are deserved but here goes a few. Anything by Professor Longhair, especially Live On The Queen Mary which was just rereleased on vinyl, Allan Toussaints first and only jazz album The Bright Mississippi as well as Toussaints collaboration with Elvis Costello utilizing N.O.musicians as well as The Cresent City Horns, Dr John's Dr John plays Mac Rebennack vol 1 & 2. The interesting thing about Byrd is that he would cannibalize discarded pianos to build his own and they all had the same keys (most commonly used) worn out so he patterned his playing around the worn out keys, kind of in the vain of Hendrix learning to play a right handed guitar upside down. Enjoy the music

@rok2id , that is so true of Wynton and his brother as well. Trio Jeepy stands out for me as Branfords best work

Batiste is the musical director on Stephen Colbert's Late Show. You can see and hear Jon every weeknight at 11:35 PM!
