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 posted this on the other thread but it seems appropriate for this thread. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sOygJsLDc4&list=RDMM6sOygJsLDc4&start_radio=1 Cheers |
Encountered during my you-tube travels: He don't need no stinkin' band. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6tIzxmPCQE Brings to mind a young Jazz Aficionado traveling the back roads in the land of the Delta Blues, in his deuce and a quarter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmmODYxPPcs Cheers |
Today's Listen: JLCO -- BOLDEN (Buddy) music from the original soundtrack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obJ8igGOCo0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3AetslINOM Wynton and the band are perfect as usual. Lord, they can play! Some of the tunes get perilously close to dixieland. Cheers |
Historical tidbit: One of the clip's comments points out that the applause during Benny Bailey's solo was actually for Ella Fitzgerald entering the hall. Wow! You learn something everyday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8YOLY4Tats Cheers |
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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96uJU7yhElM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNq7Y8YLz7Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aj1ycz7Su-Y Cheers |
My favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJ-UxxftTQw He is from the right place with the right name and the right sensibilities. I have him with Jazz at Lincoln Center, 'The music of John Lewis'. Will post it later. Cheers |
