JELLY ROLL MORTON -Library of Congress Recordings



c. 1970 issue; recorded at the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C., May 23-June 12,1938.



The stories and songs on these recordings are a document of the big bang of jazz music at the dawn of the 20th Century. New Orleans composer, pianist and pool shark Jelly Roll Morton was one of the key figures in the creation of jazz. Alan Lomax was the visionary folklorist who created a legacy that illuminated roots music sounds from around the world. Together, in 1938 at the Library of Congress, they made these groundbreaking recordings--the first recorded oral history in jazz.

Re-mastered by John R.T. Davies.



Personnel:


Jelly Roll Morton (p) solos, talking and illustrating songs with interviews with Alan Lomax.



Immortal Jazz Recordings, both historic and compelling, by the self-professed inventor of Jazz.


Terrific and Scarce Piano Jazz 8-LP Complete Import Set in NEAR MINT Condition.
