Can You Explain Curtain Elements of Jelly Roll Morton?

[jazznbear]

Yes, I am thinking about what I could share with young musicians interested in Jelly Roll. Jelly's music has always been one of my favorite traditional jazz styles. I will put some thought into sharing some observations and concepts of Morton's music.

Hi Jim,

Just wondering, are you left handed?

[jazznbear]

No, but Jim bats left handed and shoots baskets left handed. I guess you could say he is ambidextrous.

I used to play classical and some other "ok" songs, but I wanna learn entertainer music and that kind of music! But It's a different way to play classical type of music and entertainer- music!!!!
