Certainly one of the most challenging of the Jelly Roll Morton repertoire is Shreveport Stomp. This was written for piano, but possibly the most famous rendition was by Morton(piano) with Omer Simeon(clarinet). Jim first played this piano solo at 15 years old for a citywide youth talent contest at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium. Unfortunately he came in second to a singer in a white dinner jacket crooning "I Left My Heart In San Franciso". This was recorded live at Word of Mouth Recording Studio in Algiers(New Orleans) on December 18, 2007.
