I'm 14, and my whole account is dedicated to ragtime, early jazz and similar styles of music form the 20's and 30's. It's nice to know there are others like me, teenagers who don't spend all day listening to Soujla Boy and Miley Cirus through their earbuds. I'd much rather hear a good 78 Jelly Roll record then any of the pop-crap today.

My point exactly! This is surely the place to put things right and Dr Jazz was not composed or even partly composed by Walter Melrose.

@eruptionista Well we cleared that up for everyone (Ihope) lol. Thanks again for commenting!

Dr Jazz was composed by King Oliver alone - Melrose was a publisher who put his own name on compositions

@eruptionista Jelly Roll Morton was on the writing staff of Melrose Brothers Music Company. It seemed to be common in the 1920s-30s for persons who made a different arrangement of a song to also take "a little credit" for the work. Several of my record labels show Morton as the composer of a piece that he merely arranged with the true composer 's name left completely off. Thanks for you comment!
