Thomas Morris Past Jazz Masters - Original Charleston Strut (1923)

Thomas Morris (1897 - 1945)
A primitive but often effective cornet soloist, Thomas Morris (the uncle of pianist Marlowe Morris) made quite a few records during the 1923-27 period although his style was considered quite dated after the rise of Louis Armstrong. Morris was based in New York from the beginning of the 1920s. He recorded with his Past Jazz Masters (eight titles during 1923) and his Hot Babies (ten songs plus nine alternate takes that comprise the best work of his career), Clarence Williams, Charlie Johnson (1927), Fats Waller (1927) and many blues singers. However, Morris slipped away into obscurity in the 1930s. He worked as a red cap at Grand Central Station in the late 1930s and then became religious, re-emerging as Brother Pierre in Father Divine's religious sect shortly before he passed away.

-
everything I love in early jazz is in this record! HOT! :D
-
as i have been listening to this record several more thimes this year 9and being obsessed with Miley) I can pretty much say it is NOT Bubber Miley on this session (thanks to my friend KB Rau for pointing this out to me) - but it is remarkable on how much great jazz has been forgotten .... notice the rhythm on this and the trombone, very hot and relaxed, almost NOLA and Caribbean in its feel

There's nothing else in the world quite like this music! It's truly and uniquely american art. Thanx for sharing.

one of the greatest recordings ever made - i have always been in love with this record - one of my desert island recordings would have to be this one - and most other Thomas Morris - the trumpeters on this (Morris and what is probably Bubber Miley) are fantastic here - thanks for posting this masterpiece - and notice the rhythms, almost Caribbean in places
