Music reviews of Kansas City Stomp
Music Review: Great Jazz Piano
Rating: 5 Stars
(...)First, this CD features some of Morton's finest piano performances. The two versions of "Maple Leaf Rag" constitute Morton's demonstration of the transformation of ragtime into jazz, with the second version a magnificently swinging jazz performance. Similarly, Morton shows how "Tiger Rag" was allegedly created from a French quadrille, before delivering a stomping version, complete with tiger imitation. "Panama" is a concise masterclass in Morton's complex piano style, "King Porter Stomp" is given a rather frenetic reading which creates more excitement than the entire Benny Goodman orchestra, whilst for a change of pace the three chorus "Naked Dance" takes us back to the bordellos of Storyville.
Second, Morton's under-appreciated skill as a jazz singer is well illustrated here. "Lowdown Blues" is a splendid performance, with piano accompaniment based on his "New Orleans Blues"
Third, the sound quality is not brilliant, but is a vast improvement on previous LP issues.
Recommended to anyone interrsted in the history of
jazz.
