This boogie-woogie with a Spanish tinge middle section is simple (probably because it was a made up on the spot). While not very pianistically spectacular or musically original, it is an appealing blend of roughness and elegance. It generates considerable swing in the boogie sections. When I played the transcription by James Dapogny (in the book Ferdinand "Jelly Roll" Morton: The Collected Piano Music) I noticed that it is hard to imitate Morton's use of the right thumb to bring out hints of inner melody (this goes for some of his other pieces too). Morton didn't like boogie much, so this is one of his few outings in that direction. He might have intended this as a document of early blues playing.
