1	Ken Burns Jazz: The Story of America's Music (2000) more music like this by Various Artists In conjunction with documentary filmmaker Ken Burns' ten-part 2000 PBS special, Columbia/Legacy and Verve teamed up to issue a special series of reissues covering much of the history of 20th century jazz. The central release of this program is the five-CD box set Ken Burns Jazz: The Story of America's Music, its 94 selections covering the history ... see all copies from $17.33! new only from $50.06!
2	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. The sound quality is excellent and complete discographical information is provided along with insightful liner notes. Alternate takes are presented on separate discs so as to avoid redundancy. This creates doppelgängers ... see all copies from $5.47! new only from $5.47!
3	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!
4	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 $2.18! new only from $7.84!
5	Birth of the Hot (1995) more music like this by Jelly Roll Morton see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
6	Greatest Hits (1996) more music like this by Jelly Roll Morton Greatest Hits contains a good cross-section of Jelly Roll Morton's best-known RCA numbers, including "Original Jelly Roll Blues," "Steamboat Stomp," "Black Bottom Stomp," "Shreveport Stomp," and "Red Hot Pepper." 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 $7.57! new only from $11.06!
7	Best of New Orleans Ragtime Piano (1995) more music like this by David Thomas Roberts see all copies from $18.07! new only from $18.07!
8	Pearls (1985) more music like this by Judy Carmichael The CD reissue of what was originally a Statiras set by pianist Judy Carmichael expands the original ten song program to 18. Carmichael teams up with cornetist Warren Vache, guitarist Howard Alden and bassist Red Callender for a spirited set of classic jazz and swing standards. Seven of the eight "new" selections are actually alternate takes so ... see all copies from $7.33! new only from $12.54!
9	Sunday Street (1976) more music like this by Dave Van Ronk This album, originally released in 1976, may or may not be, as annotator (and former Dave Van Ronk guitar student) Elijah Wald claims, "Dave's greatest single album" (frankly, Van Ronk has made so many albums for so many fly-by-night labels that it is hard to endorse so sweeping a statement), but it is certainly a very good one. Van Ronk had made ... see all copies from $14.94! new only from $14.94!
10	Jelly Roll (1996) more music like this by Jelly Roll Morton see all copies from $11.10! new only from $11.20!
11	Complete Works of Jelly Roll Morton (1995) more music like this by John W. "Knocky" Parker see all copies from $25.97! new only from $25.97!
12 view cover	Live at the Sticky Wicket (1986) more music like this by Dick Wellstood The Big Three of post-World War II stride piano were Ralph Sutton, Dick Hyman and the late Dick Wellstood, who passed away in 1987. This double CD from 1997, recorded just 8½ months before Wellstood's death, contains all of the music performed by the pianist during an informal club appearance and recorded privately with his permission; it was ... see all copies from $25.45! new only from $25.45!
13 view cover	Pagin' Mr. Jelly (1988) more music like this by Art Hodes Art Hodes was just ten days short of his 84th birthday at the time of this Candid solo piano CD. Hodes had his own style for quite a few decades by then. A masterful blues player, on the more up-tempo tunes, Art's left hand tended to state each beat in double-time, a very effective device. For this tribute to Jelly Roll Morton, Hodes performs 13 ... see all copies from $39.26!
14 view cover	Ragged But Right, Vol. 1 (2007) more music like this by Turk Murphy see all copies from $12.70! new only from $12.70!
15 view cover	Ragtime Classics (1958) more music like this by Wally Rose Wally Rose was a pioneer in reviving ragtime. This CD is a full-length set of rags performed by the pianist's trio (with bassist Morty Corb and drummer Nick Fatool). Rose plays the rags with spirit, taste, and a bit of subtle improvisation, although the rhythm section tends to be a bit metronomic (Nick Fatool sounds as if he is working hard to ... see all copies from $18.00!
16 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 $15.00! new only from $135.55!
17	The King of New Orleans Jazz (1957) more music like this by Jelly Roll Morton see all copies from $25.00!
18 view cover	Wild Man Blues (2005) more music like this by Jelly Roll Morton see all copies from $16.57! new only from $17.40!
19 view cover	New Orleans Stomp (2007) more music like this by Turk Murphy see all copies from $13.53! new only from $13.53!
20 view cover	Tributes, Portraits and Other Stories (2008) more music like this by Louis Mazetier In the 21st century there are relatively few active pianists who specialize in stride piano, though French pianist Louis Mazetier, a radiologist whose ability to tour has been limited, is one of the top stride stylists in Europe. Prior to this record date, he had recorded a pair of release for Stomp Off and a duo date with stride master Dick Hyman ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $14.57!
21 view cover	1923-1924 [Classics] (1923) more music like this by Jelly-Roll Morton Part of Classics' excellent chronological series, this examines Jelly Roll's recordings from 1923 to 1924, beginning with a Paramount single with his orchestra, "Big Fat Ham," followed by "Muddy Water Blues." Next up are the first six issued Gennett piano solos, then stray singles by Morton's Jazz Band, Steamboat Four, and Stomp Kings. These are ... see all copies from $16.57! new only from $16.57!
22 view cover	Spirit of Ragtime (1998) more music like this by Various Artists As the title suggests, ASV/Living Era's Spirit of Ragtime collects sassy ragtime songs like Scott Joplin's "The Entertainer," Art Tatum's "Tiger Rag," Louis Armstrong's "Weather Bird Rag," Fred Van Eps' "Ragtime Oriole" and Jelly Roll Morton's "Pearls." Standards like "Maple Leaf Rag" and performances from Luckey Roberts, Sidney Bechet and Fats ... see all copies from $11.44! new only from $11.44!
23 view cover	Red Hot Jazz: The Dixieland Album (1993) more music like this by Canadian Brass see all copies from $14.97! new only from $14.97!
24 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 $17.01! new only from $17.01!
25 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 $7.00! new only from $7.00!
