  • I have to write a music analysis on this song. Ive listened to it over and over again lol

  • SNIKT !

  • This tune is catchy and talented at the same time. Hard to find that combo these daysl

  • Lo escuchaba hace 40 años y no lo olvide, la entrada de la batería al final podía ser baby doods o zuty zungleton me emociona realmente.un clásico que deberían conocer muchos jazeros actuales.

  • this is my jam.

  • Quest'uomo era semplicemente il Dio del Jazz.

  • Good god i feel like i'm in a bordello in New Orleans! Lovely.

  • This my revision for my music tech exam: listening to great music from the past just picking out key features and instrumentation. It's great! :)

  • Another thing: this is JRM at his best. IMO the swing effect (esp. rond 2.13ff) is as infectious as any groove or rock effects that came later (though obviously in different ways). It's not for nothing that this dude is in the rock n roll hall of fame as an early influence.

    It's a pity so many people diss this sort of music as hopelessly old-fashioned. Maybe it's for the same reason that some people diss Haydn: the music is so joyful it must be trivial.

  • @whatsmylogin Its not old fashioned at all. They dont know what they're saying. Play any of these old 78s (Im fortunate to have this one) and its just like a rock & roll record. This is everyday music to me and me & my girlfriend dance to it all the time

  • There is an alternative (faster?) take of this from the same session. It is sufficiently different for it to be clear that Morton is improvising, despite his writing down parts for the other personel. I don't know if the other version is on the internet, but it is very interesting to compare the two.

  • @whatsmylogin There are some cd's called Jelly Roll Morton - Alternate Takes

  • geniaaaaaaaaaal.....a veces despues de buscarlo y escucharlo....la historia sale de ese piano  como el rio Misisippi....

    juan del rio

  • Jelly Roll Morton un des créateurs du jazz d'origine.

  • wonderful, beautiful....clear true music...nothin better ;)

  • Morton sure could play the piano

  • The heartfelt gusto of the remarks here bear out what a magical musical experience this trio version of "Wolverine" really is. And what a video! As I've told listeners so many times, there is nothing so touching, so human, so profound as Morton in all of jazz.

  • Creole soul...!!!

  • damn....it' s a life i'm looking for the score !! somebody can say me where i can find it ?

  • I must have listened to this a 1000 times when I was in 7th grade, 10 years ago :))

  • Wow.

  • It's a shame that jazz drumming didn't really take prominence in recordings until the Swing era.

  • agreed!

  • Why?

  • Maybe that's a good thing. 

  • fab!!

  • What a masterpiece. I love how he plays a stomp for the first 2 strains than lets dodds take the melody on the organ chorus.

  • So Good, So Classic. And I love the melodic way of drumming.

  • Yes, Johnny Dodds! I have some old 45 rpm discs by Johnny Dodds & The Bootblacks, plus Louis Armstrong 1927 (Dodds - cl, Jimmy Blythe - p).

    Morton simply was a genius (and probably a rascal as well). Interesting to see your sheet albums; I own a 1985 Mortyon album published by EMI, London, but playing his tunes is beyond me, although I can play Scott Joplin (and Bud Powell, too). I still wrestle occasionally with King Porter Stomp. Many thanks for posting!

  • Jelly Roll Morton's FUN!!! He's one of my favorite jazz musicians! Classic!

  • I can't stop listening to this track, thank you so much! It' s just so incredible. I went and bought a CD of the band because of this.

  • LOVING THIS, THANKS!

    jEANNE MARIE
