The great Terry Waldo gives you a master class for free. It doesn't get better than this. Thanks Mr Waldo.

Finally, an episode about the legendary Jelly Roll Morton. Wish you guys could make more episodes like this.

This trailblazing piano music should be played with a smile on your face. In my opinion.

Wow. The joy in this man’s playing warms my heart. You can tell he LOVES the material, and takes great pleasure in sharing it. Thank you sir.

Big fan of Mr. Jelly Roll Morton I visit his grave here in Los Angeles every so often and smoke a funny cigarette there with him and his music, cause legends never die!

I listened to the Library of Congress recordings in the early 1950s. They should be made available to all early jazz lovers. Sometimes the songs are available on CD. The narration is raunchy but reminiscent of the Storyville sporting houses. I have visited Jelly's grave in Holy Cross Cemetery in Los Angeles. I said a thankful prayer in his memory.

This was so informative I had the pleasure of seeing jelly’s last jam a musical revival the is based on jelly role Morton’s life currently running at New York City center in NYC I wanted to obtain further information on this musician I learned a lot from this video if you can attend this brilliant revival of this musical please attend and thank me later! Stay wonderful

This was good and interesting. Glad to hear about another great artist from my home (New Orleans), which also produced Louis Armstrong, Fats Domino, Ellis Marsalis, Al Hirt, Harry Connick, Jr, Buddy Bolden, Bunk Johnson, and many others.

Thank you, Terry, for showcasing Jelly Roll Morton, who I’ve heard about since childhood and of whom my mother brought home LP:s back to Sweden when she had been over in New York in 1957. Thanks for awesome playing.

Beautiful and very instructive lesson by the great Terry Waldo! Many thanks for this!

Far out man peace from California

How i wish I had discovered Terry Waldo in my teen years !

Great hearing about Jelly Roll . 💖

Композитор- гений, исполнитель- блеск, спасибо!!!

Terrific! Thank you! I always come back to Jelly Roll for essential early Jazz.

Terry You're a Humble Giant!

The cool part of KZfaq! I am so grateful for this channel and this lesson! ❤️

These are the most amazing videos! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

This is so neat!! Hope you will cover more of the greats!

Wonderful! Thankyou so much for this enlightening discussion and beautiful playing!

This is a so informative lesson.

You can even hear how his music influenced rock if you listen closely

Excellent .

I love that you brought the music to freedom. Bettina La Belle. Thank you

ZOWIE! There's a fair degree of complexity there... and no sheet music. Excellent musicianship! However comma I do see where it's pretty easy to fall in love with this music especially as it was played by a free spirit such as Jelly Roll Morton.

Fabulous

Wow thank you.

Love your mind.

I heard his recordings. I have it on CD.

Yep Jesus 🙌 of the keys 🎹

I never thought that Jelly roll Morton, could not be considered in this way

please don't allow this to be taken down.

Cool

I grew up in a house where my father blared JRM records all weekend. Ragtime is a wondrous and sadly lost art form.

Ok so Jelly Roll bragged about himself,-but he could back it up… He was telling it like it is .. the Library of Congress sessions is a must for music history before WC Handy, -Jelly was the first - and Mr. Morton gives credit to people that he admired and influenced him. He’s full of humility. Please check it out.

what a legacy!

thaks

Ferdinand Morton certainly was an indispensable influence on the popularity and written notation of ragtime jazz, but was more of an artist who brought it from grassroots to mainstream than an inventor.

the legend of 1900 brought me here

Meh teacher told me to watch this and 3 I liked it the music was great

I did ballet. My toes love you.

Even with relatively "basic"(compared to today)chords, Morton still made very harmonically cool music

👌

TERRY STAY LAYIN IT DOWN RT

Can anybody discuss how Jelly incorporated his playing style into a band setting? This style of playing is great for solo piano, but can be disruptive in a full size vintage jazz band, particularly if that band doesn't want to showcase the pianist all the time. So did Jelly's bands just work around him (him being the boss and the star) or did he meet them part way and sometimes take a back seat? From what I can hear on the recordings, it seems they mainly just worked around him.

7:49 Oomph!

I, DIO am a fan of Jazz.

You forgot to mention what "Jelly Roll" means for our cultured audience :)

I'm not sure he "starved to death." He had complications from a stabbing that occurred at the Music Box and due to a local Whites-Only hospital rejecting his care, he had to get to a much further one. The next few months he was in hospitals getting care for asthma and complications from the stabbing.

I kinda view Jelly Roll as the Pryor of jazz.

Stanley and Oliver would be proud of you

Lil Hardin

Is he a music teacher for a school I sure Lerner aometging

If you play in a style that most people are not familiar with and especially with hand movements twice as fast on the left hand, the trend will not be promoted nor even liked by people in your industry. Professional pianists have a hard time going over 200 beats and jazz piano can jump to over 300.

Sporcle brought me here.

yah, asherleigh, i know the answer to this trick question .... who was jelly roll morton? he was an all-american puano player, sir

1:55 it's the notes that he doesn't play

😅

I wish you were my father

I think your beautiful..

The people who created swing music, were barely in touch with Morton, and they certainly never sited him as an inspiration. By the late 20's he was a jazz dinosaur, dismissed as old fashioned. If you want to understand how swing came about, you have to look at things like the Goldkette recording of My Pretty Girl in 1927, or Abe Lyman's surprisingly swinging recording of Those Longing For You Blues in 1922. There certainly are a lot of riffs in that record. This is where things were happening. Morton's recordings from the following year sound stiff in comparison. James P. Johnson in New York 1921, has as much swing as Morton in Chicago in 1923, if not more. Ellington's Doin' The Voom Voom from 1929 certainly is fully fledged swing music, and if you play the Red Hot Peppers recordings from the same year. and claim they were Ellington's source of inspiration, you might be met with a laugh. Morton was an excellent pianist, band leader and composer, with his own unique style. His productions can be enjoyed independently of how they relate to other musicians, etc. There is no reason to try to elevate him to a sort of originator of all things that are jazz.

I wonder if this new jelly roll knows about the original Jelly roll so disrespectful if you ask me

so i guess Buddy Bolden was wrong? nah not morton he did not invent jazz buddy is credited for this honor.

王族の血を継承した喋り方、いろいろな喋り方ができるのですね。

Jelly Roll Morton didn't invent jazz. Buddy Bolden did.

Ho looks like he's playing this at gunpoint. Where's the joy here?? He probably needs an audience.
