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.

Wynton and the band are perfect as usual.   Lord, they can play!   Some of the tunes get perilously close to dixieland.

If Dr. John says "N'awlins",   Nawlins it is.

The guy that told me "Nawlins" was born, raised and probably died in "New Orleans".  (proper for his obituary)

I looked it up, and some say it dis way while others say it dat way; since Rok is one of the specialists on dis subject, I'll let him decide the proper way, but it don't make no difference because we'll go along with anyway you like to say it.

Encountered during my you-tube travels:

He don't need no stinkin' band.

Brings to mind a young Jazz Aficionado traveling the back roads in the land of the Delta Blues, in his deuce and a quarter.

In Mississippi it's Nawlins.   Since Mississippi is the final arbiter on all things Suthun, that's it.
