- Comments
- Near the end of his life, Jelly Roll Morton was bitter and in financial straits, feeling overlooked for his contributions as a jazz trailblazer while others got the credit. In 1938, folklorist Alan Lomax began documenting Morton's career and music by conducting private sessions with the pianist in a concert hall, transcribing his comments and performances onto two primitive battery-operated portable disc cutters, which had problems keeping a consistent speed.
Various editions of these historic Library of Congress recordings have been issued over the years, though duplications, omissions and pitch problems make them inferior to this newly remastered and re-edited collection. The recordings have been resequenced to their original order, with duplications omitted and all unreleased segments included, while the pitch correction and remastering, utilizing a few newly discovered alternate masters, has greatly improved the fidelity.
