Description
HERE IS a great, copacetic, vital, not to mention highly entertaining record by JELLY ROLL MORTON AND HIS RED HOT PEPPERS:
"SIDEWALK BLUES" (take -3) and "DEAD MAN BLUES" (take -2)
This is from Jelly's first week of recording for Victor, in September, 1926, during which he set the standard of New Orleans Jazz for all time. The personnel is a Who's Who of the style:
JELLY ROLL MORTON, p, speech /GEORGE MITCHELL, (cornet) / KID ORY (trombone) / OMER SIMEON (clarinet) / JOHNNY ST. CYR (banjo) / JOHN LINDSAY (bass) / ANDREW HILLAIRE (drums).
This Original 1926 "Scroll" Victor 20252 is in highly serviceable V++ condition. Plays cleanly, some scratches, a little distortion here and there, but mostly a very sound copy indeed.
*****
These records come from my private collection, which I have been accumulating since 1967, and now am downsizing! My highest priority in these eBay auctions is to give you the best possible idea of a record’s true condition and aesthetic value. I always post at least four clear images, showing the record fore and aft, a close-up of the label, and the whole disc, warts and all. If my purple prose won’t cut it, the pictures will! Shipping is done with expert care. Your record will brave Media Mail in a stout corregated box, between four sheets of cardboard and a couple of “packers.” I hope you are amused by these descriptions, and by the quality of service being offered.
