| Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music. I just realized I've been listening to music from New Orleans all my life, and I'm not even from there.Before I was of age, I snuck into the juke joints; they sprouted up faster than weeds in the hood around St. Louis. Even then, "hard bop jazz" ... | |
| Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music. Folks, the subject is "Jazz" from "Nawlins" (Rok's preferred spelling) NOLA sounds good to me, but I think we all know the town we're talking about. Jon Batiste was the first prime example; followed by Allen Toussaint's "The Bright Mississippi".... | |
| Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music. This song by Gregory Porter impressed me, so did Lalah Hathaway; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFsChbwsbmo | |
| Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music. Authenticity is very important in this song, and Aaron Neville takes us back to the top of a levee looking at the waters rushing by and rising at the same time.This is a good time and thread for more Aaron Neville; what's your favorite? | |
| Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music. Nikonnola, it sure is nice to have someone still living in New Orleans on this thread.I would like to know where Marcia Ball fits into the musical scheme of things down there? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcASVdqUeOo | |
| Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music. This pretty much states who Gregory Porter is; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregory_PorterToday is the first day I've seen it too, which means we know the same things at the same time.When I heard him I could tell he had talent plus a ... | |
| Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music. Folks, I was in a hurry on my post about New Orleans musicians, and it states the opposite of what I was intending to say. (haste makes waste)I intended to say that successful musicians from New Orleans, stay in New Orleans, while those from other... | |
| Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music. Acresverde, here's Mr. James Booker; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3DyLGqdhaI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcLhiOIO54k | |
| Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music. Nikonnola, what impresses me the most about New Orleans is the love people from there have for their city; they even cling to the broke down neighborhoods. Another thing that's impressive is how many successful people, and musicians who live ther... | |
| Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music. Rok, you hit the nail dead on the head about Nica.I am so glad I started this thread; not long ago I would not have appreciated those clips you presented in regard to history, but now, I will delve as deep as I can into each little tid-bit.Thanks! | |
| Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music. A different facet of Dr. John; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNhHq9w8nuU | |
| Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music. Rok, you and I prefer different facets of the the same diamond. Not that we don't like the diamond in it's entirety, we just have different favorites. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwvuGJPQBNw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-1gUR0... | |
| Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music. Rok, the procession you posted was solemn and quite respectful as befitted the person to be interred.It seems to me they knew what the person being interred would want the most; Dr. John,s was both garish, and raucous as he would have wanted it, a... | |
| Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music. Jon Cleary is another artist I never heard of. Without a doubt I will expand my collection considerably with these "new" New Orleans artists. He was so good I played him twice. | |
| Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music. Nikonnola, New Orleans might be the only city in this entire country where successful musicians live in the "neighborhood" so to speak. Since you live there you might comment on that.Dancing while crying at the same time; that's the "Second Line"... |
