Music reviews of 1923-24
Music Review: One of the best compilations of Jelly's early works
Rating: 5 Stars
There are a few compilation CDs of Jelly's first recordings in the early 20s before the Hot Peppers, when he started off as a pianist in Chicago. A lot of these songs are gems and of course, this is one of the few compilations where the sound is not remastered or messed with much, but kept original. It contains a lot of scratch since it was transferred directly from old records, but the sound of the piano is crisp and clean under the scratch, unlike other compilations that dull the piano sound down while trying to remove the scratch sound. For as old as it is, the music has still been preserved well and is a huge piece of jazz history.

Description of 1923-24
All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.These are Jelly Roll Morton's earliest recordings, and if you have any plans to become a Morton completist, this Jazz Classics issue with its chronological presentation is a good way to cover the early work. While the sound quality inevitably leaves much to be desired, the freshness of Morton's invention will surmount that, from the wonderfully percussive smacks at the keyboard in "Grandpa's Spells" to the rollicking energy of "Shreveport Stomp." Other perennial Morton vehicles that are heard in their first versions are "The Pearls" and "King Porter Stomp," while "Big Fat Ham" and "London Blues" are heard in both band and solo piano versions. The CD even goes so far as to include "Steady Roll" by a novelty band called Jelly Roll Morton's Stomp Kings. The group consisted of comb, banjo, and kazoos, but it didn't include Morton. --Stuart Broomer
