This is amazing!! 🤍Thanks for taking the time to compile and get access to these precious recordings and materials!! 🎶 I'm loving these tracks filled with jazz music 😎 halfway listening and it's the perfect video to get your mind off the day and make you feel happy afterwards! 😁 I did not know much about Mr. Morton prior, so I'm glad I got to learn a little more about the "Jelly Lord" thanks to you! 🙂
@@Natt_piano Haha, it most certainly is!! It's great to hear you've enjoyed the music and more. 😆 It really does leave you in a better mood. 😁🎹🎶🎶 Suppose there's always something new to learn here too! 😝
Alan Lomax was in his early 20s at the time. It’s crazy how he started his career with such an illustrious interview. Though I suppose JRM was mostly forgotten by the public at the time.
@@GavinLepley I'd figure he would have been forgotten by this point. Big bands & swing we're all the craze by then compared to traditional jazz. 😌 It is interesting to see his career take off in such a way.
Are you going to upload all of them? That would be great. I've been struggling to find half of them after they where removed from Spotify. Might it make sense to upload each recording with a different title though to make it easier to navigate them? I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of these though. These are my favourite recordings ever. Also, on Spotify before these where removed there was a recording of Picou playing his High Society that just had Jelly Rolls name on the recording. I think Lomax recorded that and interviewed Picou as well. I wonder if you have that recording as well as I had been transcribing it as it was removed. Thanks again for uploading these and I'll look forward to hearing the rest again.
Yes indeed, or at least that is what I have planned. :] I had actually uploaded all tracks to TH-cam in similar formatted videos like this one a few months back, yet it to them less than 5 minutes to shoot me a email saying "nope, not a chance bud", forcing me to take them down the same day. 🥲 Also, I believe it would, though I have been stuck on what to actually title these. I was simply going to leave them as "blah blah - Library of Congress Recordings (Disc #)" just to simplify it but make it easy enough for anyone to search on their own, as well as stick them in their own playlist. If you have any suggestions, please let me know! As far as Picou goes, I do believe that I have his interview with Lomax somewhere in my library (I'll just have to find it again, haha) but am not familiar with a recording of High Society. 🤔 I'll have to look about for that one and see what I come up with! P.S. Of course, you are always welcome! 😆
@@themajesticgeorge As for the point on the titles, there was a list in Alan Lomax's book I could write down for you in a week or two. The Picou recording starts with him introducing the piece as high society played by the composer and has a simple Banjo accompaniment
I have a question/request Do you think you could get some recordings of Tony Jackson? (the one Jelly Roll Morton really looked up to). I can't finy anything besides pretty baby and I'm Cert'ny Gonna See 'bout That
@@itsRemco Oh lord, not Jackson. 😭😂 "Long ago, I too searched for the lost treasure. 🧙🏾♂️" I've also only come up across those two titles myself butttttt since I know a few more institutions out there than previously, I can contact them and see if they have any of his rolls or whatnot by chance. If so, we may have our hands on something. 😏
***Full transcription to be uploaded in short time. Had to make sure the video itself would pass TH-cam first, haha.

Yeah, but he's influence was big.
Always good to see these recordings!!
@@itsRemco You know it! 😎
Absolutely beautiful “Blues “ here” in Ontario, Canada,
John Howieson 😊
It most certainly is! 😌🎹🎶🎶
Thank you for stopping by to give ol' Morton a listen Mr. Howieson. 👋🏾
Coming to you from Texas! 🤠
