@kg6iif good call,but Jelly Roll Morton was a white person.

Not under Louisiana law at the time he wasn't. Look up "Creoles of Color" or "Gens de couleur libres". They had considerable privileges over other African descended people in Louisiana, but they were never considered white, and one step outside the state they became Black.

Introduciéndome al Jazz, desde sus raíces, hermoso estilo para seguir disfrutando de la música.

Come on with it Jelly Roll, those folks who didn't like it, they will be back when they get the blues....How long do I have to wait can I get it now do I have to hesitate

@ninjaspit I'd like to see Dave Brubeck's reaction if you were to tell him that he "stole" your music.

@ninjaspit I don't know why I'm even going to bother chiming in, but here it goes. Gregorian chant is much more foreign to 21st century Americans than any kind of jazz. It was one manifestation of Christian worship that blossomed in Europe several hundred years ago. Jazz, on the other hand, is and has been largely heterogeneous (racially speaking) since its inception around the turn of the century. Yes, it has some roots in African musical expression, but it's a distinctly American art form.

@Pentagonshark666 This comment is so blatantly retarded that I can't tell if you're a troll or not. Jelly Roll Morton was a Creole, a person of color, and in the Jim Crow South would in no way be considered white (and still wouldn't be considered white by many people).

Magnífica grabación, como todas las que realizó junto a Alan Lomax. Gracias por compartirla.

Jelly Roll didn't create jazz and he wasn't white - he was Creole. No question he was brilliant but no one thought him more brilliant than he did.

@JZJYRWO Zeppelin tended to do that.
