An early Morton composition(1905)that achieved great commercial success over many decades, King Porter Stomp is most famous as a Morton piano solo and the Benny Goodman swing era big band arrangement.This piece was composed for Morton's good friend, Porter King. Jelly's style of "band Piano" was intended to make the solo piano, through voicings, riffs and breaks, simulate the sound of the entire band. This was the first JRM solo that Jim learned and surprisingly one that he has not recorded until now.

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!
