[Dixielandjazz] Best/favourite Piano Solo

[Mike Meddings]

Continuing the best/favourite solo discussion.

I'd like to put forward Jelly Roll Morton's piano solo on "My Melancholy
Baby #1" from the Baltimore acetate session of 8th April (?) 1938.

Originally released on the LP Alamac QSR 2424.   Jelly creeps in with a
stunning ghostly chorus following Smith's alto solo.

Dick Burg (tp): Eddie or Teddy Smith (as): Jelly Roll Morton (p ): Biddy
Fleet (g): unknown (sb): unknown (d)
