Then the first recording is on roll in 1922 for QRS Company;
The second recording is in July 18 1923 for Gennet 5218 (11544);
The third recording is still on roll early June 1924 for Vocalstyle 50487;
Finally the fourth recording is in December 16 1926 with The Red Hot Peppers for Victor 20431 (37255-3).
Your version is the piano roll 1924 early June!
That's all!

great piece of playing

This is the piano roll version, the most florid, loose and inventive.

Youtube does this song no justice

I dont' have heard nothing about radio show recordings by Morton from 1934.
I'm sorry, but if i'll hear anything i'll tell you...sure!

Hello fum8ma2. By the detailed information you have given about the different piano rolls and recordings of Morton's Grandpa's Spells tells me you have a lot of knowledge about his recordings. Do you know anything about a collector in France and one in England having airshots of a Morton radio show from 1934? I have been told 2 or possibly more collectors have radio show recordings by Morton from 1934. I would like to know exactly what these are. Have you heard of this?
I knew this version, i know all the versions of this piece, and all are very nice!

If no one starts dancing to (or plays) this, then they will be cursed by one of Jelly's Grandpa's Spells.
