Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The rather long title says it all-this is the essential Jelly Roll, 24 tracks that include at least one version of every song ( Black Bottom Stomp; Doctor Jazz; Grandpa's Spells , etc.) he recorded during the legendary Chicago Red Hot Peppers sessions.

Amazon.com

Jelly Roll Morton was at a creative peak in Chicago in 1926 and '27, surrounded by first-rate fellow New Orleans musicians and with plenty of opportunities to record. Many of the musicians who contributed to Louis Armstrong's Hot Five and Hot Seven recordings appear here--trombonist Kid Ory, banjoist Johnny St. Cyr, clarinetist Johnny Dodds, and his drummer brother Baby Dodds--while George Mitchell contributes sterling cornet leads. Each track is a compressed masterpiece, a jigsaw puzzle of written composition, improvised ensembles, solos and duets, often with sound effects and bantering comic patter thrown in. "Black Bottom Stomp" and "The Chant" are brilliant examples of Morton's energized fusion of contrasting elements, while the piquant "Someday Sweetheart," with its combination of violins, guitar, and Omer Simeon's bass clarinet, demonstrates Morton's inventiveness as an orchestrator. From low humor to high mimicry, Morton was an artist of ebullient spirit who brought the whole of his experience to the recording studio: the car horn of "Sidewalk Blues," the forced laughter of "Hyena Stomp," and the barnyard vocals of "Billy Goat Stomp." By contrast, the final Chicago session includes compact trio performances of "Wolverine Blues" and "Mr. Jelly Lord" by Morton and the Dodds brothers that are refined intersections of ragtime and jazz improvisation. --Stuart Broomer

Mr Jelly at his innovative peak!

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2008

Verified Purchase

Morton was very influential as a composer and pianist, and was a great singer. He was irascible, cantankerous, and had trouble keeping a band together and dealing with the public. He was hard to get along with and it was hard for him to get along with himself! Unlike most musicians and composers of the day, Morton was determined to get paid his royalties and this alone helped to make him a pariah among the record companies, hard to get gigs or make recordings. Yet his efforts later helped to bring better conditions for composers and recording artists. On this CD, he managed to gather a very compatible group of New Orleans players. I love every cut and the re-mastered sound is far better than the older copy I have. If you like traditional jazz, if you want a window into jazz history, if you enjoy great playing, get this one! And then listen to Mr Jelly's stories, playing and singing on the Library of Congress recordings and read the recent biography of him. One of the all time greats, one of the all time characters.

Good-quality old recordings by excellent players...

Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2015

Verified Purchase

This CD won't give you Mr. Morton's piano solos, which of course are great. These are jazz combo tracks originally issued on 78's in the late 1920's. The songs, many of them, are Morton compositions, and the performances are high quality and full of spirit. And there are a lot of them. Listening to this for an hour straight, they can seem a bit much. But if you want a sampler of what New Orleans-style jazz groups sounded like, get this one. Although it was recorded in Chicago, it's as authentic as you'll ever find. Almost everything on here is up-tempo fund.

Excellent issue

Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2013

Verified Purchase

Some of my favorite JRM tracks come alive with the fine transfers and remastering on this Bluebird CD.
However, there are a few clicks and pops on some tracks which could have been removed, and some of the "swishing" sounds (probably due to record groove compression) are still plainly audible in places. These can be eliminated/reduced manually (with time and patience) using current sound restoration technology, and I've done this myself for the first CD track "Black Bottom Stomp" which can be heard as an MP3 file at [...] Hence, I rate the CD as 4 stars because of these slight problems.
For those interested in Fats Waller in fine sound quality, please see my own CD at [...]

" This great music was arranged

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2017

Verified Purchase

Morton did not give birth to "the hot." This great music was arranged, and I remember Omer Simeon saying how Jelly Roll reproved him for improvising. A decade earlier the Original Dixieland Jass [correct spelling] Band played and recorded its head arrangements, which are still hot Yes, the etymology of jazz is really jass, from French jaser, meaning everyone talks at once, in the polyphony and polyrhythmy of real jazz. there is a lot of bad history out there, like Morton claiming to have invented jazz and Tiger Rag. He was a great talent destroyed by cultural tides and personal shortcomings.

What a great compilation from early New Orleans Jazz master Jelly Roll Morton. This is where you can hear the sound of a new concept rising.
There is not a bad cut on this recording!

For many, this IS jazz

Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2015

Verified Purchase

Outstanding music by Morton and his band from the 1920's. To the non-specialist, his recording of Dr. Jazz IS jazz. 4 out of 5 because naturally, after all these years, the sound isn't 100%.

Get you some Jelly Roll

Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2013

Verified Purchase

A fine selection of a major pioneer's work. Jelly probably wasn't as important as he said he was, but he's still fun to listen to and you'll find yourself thinking, so THAT'S where that came from.

It is fortunate that through CD's such as this, those of us who wish to understand, can access the beginnings. Bright, and adventurous. I forgive the recording quality for the privilege to experience the spontaneity, courage, experimentation, and genius, which inspired influenced all that was to follow.

'Clean-ups' of acoustic recordings don't often come out as well as this - If you like JRM you'll be impressed by this.
Track-by-track notes are all the nerdy (ie me) might reasonably hope for.
