Steamboat Stomp -- Jelly Roll Morton's Red Hot Peppers 1926 One of the most famous bands of the twenties and early thirties play Steamboat Stomp. These Morton recordings have been the musical basis of many of today's jazz musicians. Some stayed within this format, others evolved into swing and into the many facets of the modern jazz styles. But in general every serious jazz musician knows about these recordings and it is one of the reasons I have started my audio site especially to emphasize on the importance of these wonderful early jazz clips to the youtube and daily motion world. Of course there were no films made in those times, however some photography was done which I include with these clips. In 1999 I recorded this tune with my Vancouver Hot Five. Maybe you like it our way as well. www.youtube.com. + Informações

JELLY ROLL MORTON ORIGINAL PIANO ROLLS. + Informações

Ferdinand "Jelly Roll" Morton (Sept.20,1885 or Oct.20,1890 - July 10,1941) was an American ragtime pianist, bandleader and composer. Widely recognized as a pivotal figure in early jazz, Morton claimed, in self-promotional hyperbole, to have invented jazz outright in 1902. Critic Scott Yanow writes that "Morton did himself a lot of harm posthumously by exaggerating his worth (yet) Morton's accomplishments as an early innovator are so vast that he did not really need to stretch the truth." Morton was the first serious composer of jazz, naming and popularizing the so-called "Spanish tinge" of exotic rhythms and penning such standards as "Wolverine Blues", "Black Bottom Stomp", and "I Thought I Heard Buddy Bolden Say".
