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 was introduced to Batiste through Colbert's show.  He's a mind-blowing talent, steeped in knowledge of how the last 120 years rolled out.

He's also an incredibly admirable human being.

Tooblue, I forgot that I have that album "The Bright Mississippi"; it most certainly personifies Nawlins music.

(I had a friend from New Orleans who told me the proper pronunciation was "Nawlins")
