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

Thank you Rok... those links opened up hours of pure pleasure.

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.

Great player,  not new to me and I absolutely like this:

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")

Thanks for the musical info; I'll keep you informed as I check the rest of it.

Jon Batiste is really good and that is a good album. All the artist that have been mentioned that are from New Orleans,  not Nawlins Please, are or were excellent musicians and song writers. I'm surprised no one mentioned James Booker. He is up there with all the ones mentioned. But as someone who actually lives and works in New Orleans, it's like nails on a chalkboard when someone from Ohio or wherever says N'awlins.
