[Dixielandjazz] The Saga of Jelly Roll Morton

[Dradjazz at aol.com]

Hi there --

You are cordially invited to listen to the newly posted radio program, "The 
Saga of Jelly Roll Morton":
http://jazzhotbigstep.com/63501.html

Approximately 3.5+ hours this is a program that I originally produced live 
on air in 1996 exploring Morton's life, music and career -- now recycled as 
Vintage Jazz Rhythm. In it I include Morton heard playing piano, piano 
rolls, leading some of his best bands and spoken clips from LOC;  several recent 
and not so recent interpreters of Morton's piano style (Paul Lingle, Don 
Ewell, Burt Bales, Dick Hyman, Butch Thompson, etc);  recent Trad bands 
interpreting Jelly's repertory, including several exclusive live recordings of 
bands such as RSJO and South Frisco.  I also summarize Jelly's story in some 
detail, comment, and read short excerpts from Lomax's "Mr. Jelly..."

Comments, criticisms and hosannahs are welcome.

Also newly posted the complete "Wally Rose and the Rebirth of Ragtime":
