Although it doesn't offer anything of interest to jazz purists or completists, Greatest Hits is a nice sampler for newcomers and casual ... see all copies from $10.66! new only from $10.66!

5	The Library of Congress Recordings (2007) more music like this by Jelly Roll Morton Jelly Roll Morton's 1938 Library of Congress Recordings have been issued and reissued by various labels since the monumental Riverside LP edition of 1955. In what might be seen as a 50th anniversary celebration, the folks at Rounder Records decided to haul off and reintroduce this material to the public in the year 2005 with a mammoth tribute ... see all copies from $14.70! new only from $14.70!
6	Central Avenue Sounds: Jazz in Los Angeles 1921-1956 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Los Angeles is not usually seen as a hotbed of African-American musical creativity in the first half of the 20th century, but this deluxe box set deflates that misconception in a hurry. From 1921 to 1956 -- the time frame covered by the four discs of Central Avenue Sounds -- jazz of all kinds flourished on Central Avenue, L.A.'s main stem of sepia ... see all copies from $33.80! new only from $45.99!

9	Kansas City Stomp: The Library of Congress Recordings, Vol. 1 (1938) more music like this by Jelly Roll Morton Pianist/composer Jelly Roll Morton, one of the pioneers of New Orleans jazz, was down and out in 1938 when Alan Lomax found him playing in a Washington D.C. dive. Lomax, realizing that Morton had seen and heard many timeless incidents that would otherwise be forgotten, started interviewing him for the Library of Congress on a wire recorder. ... see all copies from $5.79! new only from $15.61!

12 view cover	1923-1924 [Milestone] (1923) more music like this by Jelly Roll Morton Here are all of Jelly Roll's classic Gennett piano solos, including the only known alternate take of "New Orleans Joys," presented in the sequence in which they were recorded. The No Noise system used to clean these old 78s up does a decent enough job, considering when these sides were cut and their rarity. Also on tap are four more solo piano ... see all copies from $13.14! new only from $15.48!

14 view cover	The Pearls (1926) more music like this by Jelly Roll Morton This astounding 23-track compilation deserves a place in everybody's jazz collection -- it's that important, that listenable, and that essential. It takes the cream of Morton's sessions from his legendary 1926 Red Hot Peppers to his 1939 dates leading a small New Orleans band, with all the essential stops along the way, including a 1927 trio with ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $135.55!
15 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. A few Danny Barker ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
16 view cover	Golden Greats: Greatest Dixieland Jazz (2002) more music like this by Various Artists This is a three-CD budget collection of some of the best in Dixieland jazz performed by many of its biggest stars. The sound quality and performances are quite good, but the lack of discographical information could be discouraging for serious fans. Sean Westergaard, All Music Guide see all copies from $6.50!

Both albums -- also available seperately -- feature solid performances by the artists and are nice introductions to their work. However, while the Morton ... see all copies from $16.43! new only from $16.43!
19 view cover	Denver Concert (1966) more music like this by Don Ewell This collector's LP is one of the better Don Ewell records. Captured in concert in 1966, Ewell performs duets with bassist Charles Burrell (including Jelly Roll Morton, Earl Hines and Fats Waller medleys), plays a couple of other Morton numbers ("The Pearls" and "Sweet Substitute") and backs singer Barbara Dane on four trad jazz favorites. A well ... see all copies from $15.30! new only from $15.30!
20 view cover	Jazz the World Forgot, Vol. 1: Jazz Classics of the 1920's (1923) more music like this by Various Artists The vintage music on this first of two CDs put out in 1996 by Yazoo is consistently enjoyable and heated. Unfortunately, the rather random selection of 23 selections by 23 bands, although full of hot obscurities, does not include complete sessions, is not programmed in chronological order, and (most inexcusably) does not give the personnel or ... see all copies from $15.38! new only from $15.38!
21 view cover	As Good as It Gets: Jazz Early Days (2000) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $34.75!
22 view cover	Absolutely the Best (2000) more music like this by Jelly Roll Morton A braggart, a piano player for bordellos, and a legendary character, Jelly Roll Morton was the type of person who makes the study of jazz so fascinating. He was an important early innovator, both with his piano technique and with his composing/arranging skills. Absolutely the Best collects many of his early instrumentals, recorded solo on the ... see all copies from $5.58!
23 view cover	Jelly Roll Morton Centennial: His Complete Victor Recording (1926) more music like this by Jelly Roll Morton This five-CD set contains the very best band recordings of Jelly Roll Morton's career. There are 111 performances in this reissue, including all of the alternate takes. Bypassed are the pianist's recordings with the vaudevillian clarinetist Wilton Crawley, singers Lizzie Miles and Billie Young, and two songs he performed on a radio broadcast in ... see all copies from $50.98!

25 view cover	Pioneer of Jazz 1923-1939 (2003) more music like this by Jelly Roll Morton This collection of Jelly Roll Morton classics is exactly that: the prime cuts from his later years (many of his performances after 1929 were spotty, at best). Jazz journalist Scott Yanow compiled this set for Allegro and writes an essay that perfectly describes the settings in which Morton found himself for these sessions. While the liner notes ... see all copies from $9.85! new only from $9.85!
