5	Plays Jelly Roll Morton (1999) more music like this by Jelly Roll Morton Player piano roll technology is much more versatile than most people -- even a surprising number of jazz specialists -- seem to realize or want to admit.

6	Standard Time, Vol. 6: Mr. Jelly Lord (1999) more music like this by Wynton Marsalis In this tribute to Jelly Roll Morton, at last there is a large sampling of the Wynton Marsalis who can get large crowds at outdoor jazz festivals like the Playboy at Hollywood Bowl to dance and wave white handkerchiefs. This is mostly gutbucket, stomping, swinging New Orleans jazz through the eyes and ears of avid students of old records -- and ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.88!
7	Piano Rolls [Elektra] (1924) more music like this by Jelly Roll Morton Piano rolls generally sound rather wooden, with square rhythms and a honky tonk feel; the displays of virtuosity are sometimes are impossible for one pianist to perform due to excessive hole punching. Jelly Roll Morton's 11 piano rolls of 1924 (which had previously been put out on LP by Biograph and Everest) often had more life than others of the ... see all copies from $16.85! new only from $16.85!
