1	Jelly Roll Morton [JSP] (2000) more music like this by Jelly Roll Morton JSP's five-CD set devoted to Jelly Roll Morton contains all of his Victor recordings cut between September 1926 and October 1930.

This creates doppelgängers ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $10.00!
2	Birth of the Hot (1995) more music like this by Jelly Roll Morton When in 1995 RCA reissued 19 titles and four alternate takes from the first nine months of Jelly Roll Morton's adventure as a Victor recording artist, the producers elected to christen the album "Birth of the Hot". This title, which is a takeoff on that of Miles Davis' 1949 Birth of the Cool album (later echoed in modified phraseology by the Gil ... see all copies from $6.37! new only from $10.41!
3	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 $2.01! new only from $5.98!
4	Romare Bearden Revealed (2003) more music like this by Branford Marsalis Conceptualized around the visionary paintings of Harlem-born artist Romare Bearden (1911-1988), saxophonist Branford Marsalis' Romare Bearden Revealed celebrates the obvious as well as the less tangible connections between the jazz Bearden loved and the artwork it inspired. Reflectively performing some of the songs Bearden co-opted as titles for ... see all copies from $15.04! new only from $15.04!

It covers seven of the disc's 18 selections, and the choppy feel illuminates the problems inherent in Rounder's decision to edit Morton's vocal sections. During the original dates, ... see all copies from $15.19! new only from $15.19!
6	Blues for the New Millennium (1997) more music like this by Marcus Roberts This intriguing release features pianist Marcus Roberts and a dozen of his originals played by a variety of young musicians in groups as large as 11 pieces.

(1999) more music like this by Ted Lewis A native of Circleville, OH, Ted Lewis is said to have organized his first vaudeville band in 1910, recorded with Earl Fuller in 1917, and started making records for Columbia with his own jazz band in 1919. Historical motion pictures exist of Lewis prancing around wearing a ratty top hat, lustily hollering his famous slogan, "Is everybody happy?," ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $10.83!

14 view cover	Jelly (1992) more music like this by The Dirty Dozen Brass Band The Dirty Dozen Brass Band, an innovative group that combines R&B with New Orleans parade rhythms, pays tribute to the great Jelly Roll Morton on this CD. Actually the DDBB mostly ignores Morton's original recordings (and leaves out some of his themes) in an unusual set that does not find them neglecting their own individuality.
