Meade Lux Lewis plays the blues and band plays The Blue Room

Meade Lux Lewis playing the blues and band with hot trumpet playing The Blue Room. Notice Meade Lux Lewis is addressed as "Jelly." Since the scene from this clip was supposed to be from the 1920's I wonder if Meade Lux Lewis was playing Jelly Roll Morton? Both were pianists.

In which Movie this was taken FROM , please ?

[jazzgirl1920s]

This clip is not from an old movie but from a TV show that aired in the early 60's called The Roaring 20's.

[jazzgirl1920s]

I might. I will have to look for them. Glad you enjoyed the film clip.

Nice one!

Do you have any of the recordings he made with Albert Ammons?

[jazzgirl1920s]

I was lucky my husband taped this off TV on his old beta machine. Don't know if you knew this or have heard it but a collector told me a guy named Tom Stewart recorded hundreds of hours of jazz live at clubs and off the radio on a wire recorder and his kids threw them all out after he died because they had no way to play them. The guys wire recorder had broken and he he threw it out years ago but he kept all the wire spools. He had live recordings of Louis, Duke, Basie no one else had..

re "bloody racist america ". See you're in UK. How are your Pakistani minorities

doing ? How are things in Belfast ? How egalitarian was the Royal Wedding ?

Maybe all humans are flawed. Of course, maybe it's just Americans.

Pip, pip and cheerio, old bean.

Nice fake American piano in your videos. Appropriating black culture, are we ?

I don't know if this helps anything, but Clarence Johnson was also known as "Jelly", and he played in more of a boogie style, once in a while (although he was certainly more of "stride" pianist). I think "Jelly" was a nickname with somewhat x-rated origins which was applied indiscriminately to pianists who worked in certain places.

What is the name of the show this is from? I have never seen this before, thanks for posting it!

Great clip, but I don't think it's from the 1920's.
