The Obscenity of Jelly Roll Morton

The Obscenity of Jelly Roll Morton Jelly Roll Morton's 'Make Me A Pallet on Your Floor' is a 13-minute phantasmagoric blues prefiguring the sexual fantasies of Gangsta rap. Morton's famous bravado is here at its most untrammelled. Morton esteems his own prowess, issues commands, threats, and swears. A lot. This latter fact alone will put a lot of people off, but if you can get past this, it's a fascinating document. I don't believe I would have otherwise come across the beautiful comparative adjective 'fuckingest', as in 'You the fuckingest bitch, baby, I ever met'. But the lyric [...]

Jelly Roll Morton: Hesitation Blues

Hesitation Blues
Ferdinand Joseph Lamenthe, aka Jelly Roll Morton, born in New Orleans in 1890, claimed to the inventor of jazz. His "Jelly Roll Blues," published in 1915 is certainly one of the first jazz compositions to make it to print. I love this version one more for luck

The ragtime boom of 100 years ago

The ragtime boom of 100 years ago Scott Joplin - Maple Leaf Rag ( buy ) (pub. 1899) According to Wikipedia, "Ragtime (alternately spelled Ragged-time) is an originally American musical genre which enjoyed its peak popularity between 1897 and 1918. It began as dance music in the red-light districts of American cities such as St. Louis and New Orleans years before being published as popular sheet music for piano.

This Is The First Blues I No Doubt Heard In My Life

Jelly Roll Morton - Mamie's Blues (1939) Usually I'd start with a picture. People respond well to pictures, particularly ones that set an entry's tone. But not tonight. I'm using this song as a reminder of why I got into writing about music in the first place. Suffice it to say I'm disappointed in myself for needing a reminder, but I'm hoping a jump start will get me moving again. Sorry for having to apologize one last time for my absence. Never expected to lose sight of things quite so thoroughly. [...]

This Week Sucks

So after yesterday's little cri de coeur I feel mostly fine (and thank you again, you three) but today's doctor appointment has left me a little shocked. It turns out that the annoying cough that won't go away is a symptom of a larger problem. A MUCH larger problem. No, it's not a toomah. I've been informed that I'll need to have sinus surgery. To the doctor, it's a quickie little outpatient

The Bo Diddley Legacy - Part 1 of 2

The Bo Diddley Legacy - Part 1 of 2 "I've always been a lover of African-sounding drums. I play the guitar as if it was a drum." --Bo Diddley A musician doesn't beat a drum, he plays a drum. He coaxes multiple rhythms from that drum, in an effort to tell his story and to support others contributing to that story. Therefore, to appreciate the profound impact of Bo Diddley , you have to digest the full implications of that quote. It doesn't simply explain his distinctive, percussive sound, it helps explain the critical difference between rhythm and blues and [...]
