Morton skills as an arranger, composer and pianist were above everyone else during this period.The first CD is from 09/26 to 06/27. There are the all time classics such as Doctor Jazz, Dead Man blues, and the tracks with the great clarinettist Johnny Dodds (the last eight tracks). Dodds presence added something extra to what was already great music. The last two tracks offer a chance to hear Morton the pianist - as he is joined only by the Dodds brothers.The 2nd CD offers anything from piano solos to a semi big band, recorded in 1929. Instead of Dodds we have the opportunity to hear Barney Bigard and Zutty Singleton, two other New Orleans giants, join Morton for a trio on the last four tracks. There are also highlights featuring a band with Henry Allen, J.C Higginbotham, Paul Barbarin and Pops Foster, among others.The 3rd CD was recorded during 1930, and is actually the last CD of the box set, as the remaing two CD's contain alternative takes of songs that appear in the first three. It contains swinging music, and such names as Wilbur De Paris, Bubber Miley and Albert Nicholas. I love "Harmony Blues", "Ponchatrain" - to me this is just outstanding music.CD's 4 and 5 are alternative takes of some of the best songs. They offer a chance to see how much of the music was actually improvised and how much was written down.Overall - for its musical depths, it historic value, its great remastering, and the very reasonable price - this is HIGHLY recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AMAZING restorations! *by P***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2012* I remember first hearing the wild New Orleans jazz of Jelly Roll Morton when I was only eleven. I had never heard anything like it before. The rhythms were so irresistibly untamed, energetic, unrestrained, and free. They seemed to convey the very essence of the fast-paced and gritty life of urban America in the 1920s as well as the wild character of Jelly himself. Most importantly of all, they also served to strengthen my life-long love for jazz and quickly became rivaled only by the best work of Louis Armstrong, Sidney Bechet, Django Reinhardt, Billie Holiday, and others.That said, the restored recordings on this fantastic five-disc CD set do Jelly and his fellow musicians much justice, making them sound as fresh and crisp today as they did in the mid-to-late 1920s. There are so many great tracks here, it's difficult to discuss all of my favorites. Highlights include: Ward Pinkett's trumpet solo on "Stokin' Away", the wild trombone of Kid Ory and the insane clarinet of Omer Simeon on both takes of "The Chant", Jelly's hot piano playing in general, the proto-modal piece "Jungle Blues", and much more! Highly recommended for any serious fan of jazz, especially with that hot New Orleans/Roaring 20s flavor. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Profound and Thrilling *by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2010* This is serious, rich music. Made over a period of years with various groups, it provides a picture of a great composer at the height of his powers. The trios with the Dodds Brothers, the Red Hot Peppers in all their incarnations, the piano solos --all are music which surpasses genre and time. If I had to choose, "Deep Creek" with its slow aching cry is my favorite. But that would mean the incomparable "Dead Man Blues" would be left out, or "Cannonball Blues." It's really impossible to pick a single selection when the whole body of work is so profound. Jelly Roll Morton may not have invented jazz, but he certainly invented Duke Ellington, whose inspiration springs forth from these tracks. The sophistication of the compositions and the arrangements looks forward many, many years. When Gil Evans arranged Morton's masterpiece "King Porter Stomp" in the 1950's, it sounded perfectly placed in time, and indeed, it does today. (For some reason "King Porter" is not on this set, but Google "Jelly Roll Morton" online and you'll find sites which have three and four versions.) Beautiful music that only grows better with time. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/9102600-jelly-roll-morton-1926-1930](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/9102600-jelly-roll-morton-1926-1930) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
