As far as I know, this box includes Jelly Roll's complete recordings from the years represented here, 1926 - 1930. Master and alternate takes. Of course this means that none of his earlier (acoustic) recordings are here. Neither are his Library of Congress recordings from the late '30s. So what you have here is a fantastic collection of Jelly Roll (and bands) in his prime, with the best possible sound quality!

This was the second JSP box-set I ever bought and in the years since, it seems to only get better. I've been meaning to review this one for ages but just never got around to it. There are smaller groups, larger groups, and solo piano tracks. In a word: Everything.

Obviously you'll have your own favorite tracks just as I have mine, and you'll no doubt feel that some bands were better than others, but there is no better place to hear all this stuff than in this box right here. This box is as valuable to the longtime Morton fan as it is to the person just discovering him. Why? Because it's all here, it sounds great, and the price is so low. You could "check Morton out" by buying one or 2 single discs elsewhere but by that time you'll have already spent the same amount of money as this box costs. Plus you'll only have half (or less) of what is included here, and it won't sound as good as this does.

If his standing as one of the greatest composers in all of jazz ever needs any defense, this box will state his case perfectly. This music stomps and swings like mad, and he had a talent for surrounding himself with many other greatly talented musicians.

This music and this box are essential.

Description of Jelly Roll Morton: 1926-1930

All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.
In both sound quality and price, England's JSP Records continues to put the American major labels to shame with their prewar jazz collections. Following superb multidisc releases of seminal recordings by Louis Armstrong and Django Reinhardt, JSP now offers this Jelly Roll Morton compendium, which includes all his Victor recordings from 1926 to 1930. Thanks to the work of remastering guru John R.T. Davies and a sinfully reasonable price, this five-disc collection far surpasses any U.S. release. The music is exuberant and evocative throughout, as Morton's substantial composing and arranging talents come into clear focus. He was able to maintain the joyous ensemble spirit of New Orleans jazz while continuing the music's evolution toward swing's sophistication. Focusing on Morton's Chicago prime, volume 1 is full of highlights, not just of this set, but of early jazz as a whole. Especially noteworthy is the trio date with the Dodds brothers, from June 1927, that yielded "The Pearls," "Wolverine Blues," and "Mr. Jelly Lord."

Volume 2 follows Morton to New York and features a few forceful piano solos, a strong session with trumpeter Red Allen and unsung clarinet player Albert Nicholas, plus a standout trio date with clarinetist Barney Bigard and drummer Zutty Singleton. Volume 3 is not as consistently brilliant, but offers some gems as well, including cuts with Nicholas and trumpeter Ward Pinkett on board from July 1930. The final two discs contain mostly alternative takes, but unfortunately, the masters of Morton's terrific New York session debut are for some reason buried at the end of disc four's alternates. It is, however, a tiny caveat considering the overall worth of this indispensable box. --Marc Greilsamer
