Dick Hyman was right when he said Mr. Morton was playing an entire New Orleans jazz band on the piano. I hear the clarinet all over the place, and trumpet, and even the roar is just like a tuba player would play it.

Foot tapping - it's not a commercial studio recording, but was made by Alan Lomax on a portable disc-cutter May to July 1938 in the Library of Congress. It's part of a large set of records with Morton talking and playing various pieces - they were originally issued as a set of 78s on the Circle label, then issued many years ago on the Australian Swaggie LP label: I don't know if they've ever been available since. Even further back Riverside iasued an LP of musical extracts, some at the wrong speed.

This recording is JAZZ. Not ragtime. Not stride. Ragtime is great but is generally pattern-based in the improvisations as heard in the various recordings and piano rolls of the great ragtime pianists. Jazz is about creating an entirely new melody to substitute for the original melody. Both styles could have a good degree of improvisation, depending upon the artist. Some of the ragtime pianists even swung their eighth notes. The degree of this varied as to the performer as each artist was different. Ragtime started out as a vocal and banjo music (we believe) and while that certainly continued, and the vocal element was very important, it was quickly picked up by string bands, orchestras, pianists and brass bands, etc. Jazz of course was played by these instruments and sung, and also played on piano. Here Jelly Roll Morton is playing jazz on piano. I define 'stride piano' as a kind of ragtime in being pattern-based, although some of the stride pianists were capable of fantastic linear jazz improvisations as well. It depended upon the pianist. Basically, 'stride piano' is the Luckey Roberts / James P. Johnson style of playing. The closer you get to them, the more you are playing 'stride piano'; the further away you get from their styles, the less you are playing it. Other greats like Willie the Lion, Donald Lambert etc all had their own styles but were still undisputably influenced to some degree by the Luckey Roberts / James P. Johnson style.

Jelly Roll Morton quotes the lyrics written circa 1931 by Harry DaCosta. "Tiger Rag" did not have lyrics. So Morton is quoting the lyrics by DaCosta copyrighted in 1931. The second segment you spliced together to create your "fantasy" record is after 1932 because DaCosta did not write the lyrics yet. The DaCosta lyrics are: "Hold that tiger! Where's that tiger! Hold that tiger!" The Mills Brothers had a monster hit with the song in 1932. Les Paul and Mary Ford also had a no. 2 hit in 1952 with the DaCosta lyrics and the Nick LaRocca music written and copyrighted in 1917. Morton is clearly playing the Mills Brothers 1932 version with the DaCosta lyrics: "Hold that tiger!" The music doesn't sound anything like the Original Dixieland Jazz Band version from 1917, either in the first or second segment, with the exception of the "Hold that tiger!" segment which is from 1932. No one ever seriously questioned Nick LaRocca's authorship in almost 100 years. In that time the song became the most covered and most famous jazz composition. Louis Armstrong recorded it. Duke Ellington recorded it. Glenn Miller recorded it. Benny Goodman recorded. All the jazz greats recorded it. And they all acknowledged that Nick LaRocca wrote it. Jelly Roll Morton is full of crap if he claimed he wrote it. But I don't think he ever did. It is all these music "experts" and jazz "historians" that invented all that bullcrap. As greedy as these bastards are, if Nick LaRocca did not write it, you know they would have brought all these lawsuits challenging his authorship. But no one ever did. Morton never did. That is because it is all crap.
@andrewbarrett15376 жыл бұрын
I don't think either of them wrote it, the old time New Orleans musicians all claimed that the tune went WAY back, I.E. before 1917. I should add that Harry Da Costa is one of my favorite composers, have you heard his "Bunny Hug Rag"? Also, he composed about three dozen good songs.
