Music reviews of Kansas City Stomp: The Library of Congress Recordings, Vol. 1
Music Review: an older relaxed jelly roll.
Rating: 4 Stars
recorded in 1938, an older jelly roll morton sings and plays solo piano on a variety of blues, rags, and folk tunes that harken back to the early days of the 20th century. listening to these relaxed, wonderful performances is like evesdropping in on somebody playing at a beer joint back in the days when ragtime and the blues were forces in popular music. mr morton's voice is easy and pleasing, and his piano playing a joy. he may have been up in years when he recorded this stuff but his enthusiasm for music still comes through like that of a young man. i can almost taste the cheap beer and hear the clacking of pool balls as i listen to this stuff. music to transport you into america's past. a real treat.
Description of Kansas City Stomp: The Library of Congress Recordings, Vol. 1
Mr. Jelly Lord was long past his prime when Alan Lomax happened upon him in 1938, tending bar, playing piano and working as a cook at Washington, D.C.'s Jungle Inn. No longer the struttin' dandy who had redefined jazz in the 1920s, Morton, having lost almost everything in the '30s, had disappeared from the music scene completely. Bedraggled countenance aside, he still possessed a luminous soul and sharp memory. Here, on the first of the volumes of Lomax's Library of Congress recordings, he goes about recounting (orally and instrumentally) the history, both his and the music's--its roots, its evolution, and the distinctions between what was there when he showed up and how he changed it forever. An invaluable, moving document that amply illustrates the breadth and depth of Morton's intellect. --David McGeeGeneral CDs
