A Salute To Jelly Roll Morton

Featuring The Dukes of Dixieland and Danny Barker

In the intimate atmosphere of one of New Orleans' premier jazz clubs, Lulu White's Mahogany Hall on Bourbon Street, the music that set the city on fire: the authentic sounds of Jelly Roll Morton's jazz is performed by the legendary Dukes of Dixieland and Danny Barker, one of Jelly Roll's own musicians.
Ferdinand Lamothe, aka Jelly Roll Morton, was one of the first great composers and piano players of Jazz. He was a talented arranger and musician who wrote special scores that took advantage of the three-minute limitations of the 78 rpm record. Rven more than this, he was a real character whose spirit shines brightly through history - like his diamond studded smile.
