The somewhat younger Ammons and Johnson reflect a familiarity with other approaches, but their crack teamwork is cer,,1inly not unauthentic, and generates terrific swing, especially on the stomping Man. (The presence of drummer Hoskins is not indi­ cated in the notes.) The three Morton pieces are among his best recorded solos. Freakish is aptly titled; the unusual 9th chords in the first strain give the tune an ominous quality. Gaiety, however, soon takes comman d, and the construction of this and the other two pieces, as well as their melodies, contain more than an echo of ragtime's charm. Morton's beat, though, is jazz. as is his phrasing. But it is a slightly archaic con­ ception of rhythm when com,iared to On lhe road wi1-. Waller's, whose Keys also strongly reflects ragtime.

  • Jelly Roll Morton Interviews Conducted by Alan Lomax (1938) Added to the National Registry: 2003 Essay by Ronald D
    Jelly Roll Morton interviews conducted by Alan Lomax (1938) Added to the National Registry: 2003 Essay by Ronald D. Cohen (guest post)* Jelly Roll Morton Jelly Roll Morton (1885-1941), born Ferdinand Joseph Lamothe in New Orleans, had Creole parents. He began playing the piano at an early age in the New Orleans Storyville neighborhood during the birth pangs of jazz. For a decade, starting in 1907, he traveled the country as a vaudeville musician and singer; in 1915 his composition “The Jelly Roll Blues” became the first published jazz tune. From 1917 to 1923, he continued performing from his base in Los Angeles, then moved to Chicago where he met Walter and Lester Melrose, who had a music publishing company. Along with his sheet music, Morton began recording for Paramount Records in 1923 as well as for Gennett Records in Richmond, Indiana, and for the Autograph label. Backed by various session musicians, particularly the Red Hot Peppers, his most influential recordings came in 1926-30, first for Vocalion, then for RCA-Victor. With the onslaught of the Depression, Morton’s career languished, so he moved to New York, then Washington, D.C., in 1936. He now hosted show “The History of Jazz” on WOL and performed in a local club. Known in 1937 as the Music Box/Jungle Inn, there he met the young, creative, and energetic Alan Lomax. Born in Austin, Texas, the son of the folklorist John Lomax, Alan Lomax (1915-2002) had become assistant-in-charge of the Archive of American Folk Song at the Library of Congress (LC) in 1937.

HANK JONES NEA Jazz Master (1989) Interviewee: Hank Jones (July 31, 1918 – May 16, 2010) Interviewer: Bill Brower Date: November 26-27, 2004 Repository: Archives Center, National Museum of American History Description: Transcript, pp. 134 Hank Jones: I was over there for about two and a half weeks doing a promotional tour. I had done a couple of CDs; one was with my brother Elvin and Richard Davis, the bass player. They made – – I think they made two releases from that date. And I did another date with Jack DeJohnette and John Patitucci. But, these two albums were the objects of the promotion. I mean, they promote very, very heavily everyday. I must have had 40 interviews and about 30 record signings at the record shops, plus all of the recording. We did seven concerts and people inevitably want the records, CDs of the concert for us to sign. I have a trio over there, with Jimmy Cobb and John Fink. It was called, “The Great Jazz Trio.” It was not my name, but the Japanese have special names for everything, you know? That's only one in a series of tree others which he called the great jazz trio. The first one was Ron Carter, Tony Williams and myself. But, there had been a succession of different changes in personnel. It changed about six times. The current one was Jimmy Cobb and Dave Fink--Oh, the cookies have arrived and not a minute too soon.
