This stuff was in the Chicago Tirbune. Howard Reich is the Chicago
Tribune's bogus 'Jazz' critic. Reich tries to present himself as on to some
really revelatory new Jelly Roll Morton compositions. There is a lot of
pomposity and self proclamation. Howard Reich and the Tribune were gunning
for a Pultizer which, thankfully, he never got. He uses a lot of stuff from
other sources and scarcely acknowledges any of them. Perhaps, this has all
changed in this book version, but I doubt it.
