i have to agree the hands do look like they're by themselves. mad cool.

[ml1326]

really great. at times it looked like your hands were playing by themselves, just because you're wearing all black...pretty cool. i need my set of magic hands haha.

This is great! I thought that this was written in the 1920's.

The 1905 date comes from Jelly's statement to Alan Lomax in the 1938 Library of Congress recordings. Lomax, in 1950, relates this statement in his book, "Mr. Jelly Roll". Learning Morton's music provides a good insight into early jazz. Jelly's music is always interesting and challenging!

Thanks! I recently purchased a book with 5 of Jelly's transcriptions including this one. And they ARE chalenging! I love all your videos by the way.

Thanks! I recently purchased a book of 5 of Jelly's works including this one. And they ARE hard! I heard this several times on Ken Burns' Baseball series on PBS in the 1910's section.

Hi. Was just looking over this video wondering where I could get a copy of this transcription of "King Porter Stomp". Can you tell what book you purchased with 5 of Jelly's works including this one?
