[Dixielandjazz] Jelly Roll Morton, was NO Wanderers

[Anton Crouch]

Hello Ken

I agree with your analysis of the 2 takes of JRM's /Cannon Ball Blues/. 
The only point that I was trying to make is that, despite the 
identicality of the arrangements, the two performances "feel" different 
in ways other than those due to tempo. Waffly stuff, I know, but there 
it is.

For the record (pun intended :-) )the disposition of the takes is:

Take 1 - "fast"; Mitchell's flurry. Hold; subsequently issued on 
Bluebird B10254
Take 2 - "slow"; Mitchell's articulation. Master; original choice; 
issued on Victor 20431

All the best,
Anton
