[Dixielandjazz] What's your favorite Turk Murphy album?

[Keith Garner]

Hi All

In the late 1950s a friend played me "The Music of Jelly Roll Morton 
played by Turk Murphy & Wally Rose". I thought - and still think - it's 
a wonderfull collection of tracks - 16 on the LP as I remember. I got my 
own copy a few years later and have since found the tracks on a double 
CD along with other material.

Some of the tracks are trumpetless and that in itself gives an 
interesting result, but all of them swing "like the clappers" as we used 
to say here in the UK.

I hadn't heard it for about twenty years when I got the CD version but 
each track was so familliar it was like meeting old friends again.

Regards to all
