• Jim Turner, pianist with San Antonio-based Jim Cullum jazz band, happily admits to being spellbound by the "antique" music of Jelly Roll Morton, many of whose compositions predate the advent of the recording industry and were issued on piano rolls

• Turner explains "…. no other pianist has ever sounded remotely like Morton. If you listen closely enough, Jelly Roll Morton’s scratchy old piano records are actually little miracles of exciting and inventive music making! They radiate propelling rhythmic force. They shimmer with lovely melodies and technical brilliance”

I'm impressed with the quality of the playing and Morton buffs should be too.
