"Great to see Pops get his props," said Damon J. Batiste of "NOLA's Royal Family of Music," the Batistes. Coming off the unexpected news of the Senior's loss in September of 2023 of his first child and namesake, talented and versatile musician David Russell Batiste Jr. (https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/06/arts/music/russell-batiste-dead.html), the award is inspiring news for the legendary music that some say initiated the funk sound with the family's first band, "David and the Gladiators." Offbeat Magazine's January edition cover page with Batiste's trademark symbol the melodica speaks volumes even alluding to famed nephew and melodica player, Jon Batiste, who is weeks away from possibly adding six more awards to his five Grammys from among 20 nominations received to date.
Batiste added that his father is not only a musical trailblazer for the Batiste Family, but other musicians as well. "Having just celebrated his 75th birthday in September, It's great to see that he is still at it, bringing joy to the hearts of people," said Batiste. "Music is not labor, it's all creative love that brings healing. He lives in the moment of the music to bring about positive transformation."
