"Jelly Roll" Morton was the first great jazz artist -- a composer, pianist, and bandleader. His wide-ranging tastes and diverse influences shaped his earliest compositions, and he developed into the first American composer with a unique, distinctive jazz piano style. This book is a first-of-its-kind edition of a jazz musician's work. It contains a version of every original piano piece that Morton ever recorded or published. Most have been transcribed from Morton's own performances. They are notated in meticulous detail with performance-practice comments.
Thirty-four of Morton's recorded performances are notated completely. Supplementary notations of important parts of twenty-one other band, piano, or piano-roll performances are also included. Six pieces are given in their original published versions. In addition, there is a survey of Morton's career from his first appearance as a recording artist in 1923 to his last in 1940. This book also containsa brief biography of Morton, publication and copyright history of the compositions, critical and historical notes, reproductions of sheet music covers and Morton transcripts, and four never-before-published photographs of Morton.
