Poor Blanche DuBois always depended on a affability of strangers; in a jazz community, a kind strangers turn friends in a few hours.
I lamented a detriment of a set clinging to Jelly Roll Morton’s clarinet trios, and starring Matthias (clarinet), Keith (piano), and Nick (drums) until we beheld someone named “JazzVideoMike” had posted a whole thing on YouTube. we emailed him, and he many easily gave accede to repost it here.
“JVM” turns out to be Michael Stevens, a recently late franchised accountant (CPA over here) who has been clinging to prohibited jazz for a prolonged time — about fifty years it appears. Although he’s been to New Orleans, you’ll find him many mostly during a Keswick, Bude, Whitley Bay, and Upton jazz festivals. You can see some-more of a formula by clicking JazzVideoMike
but here is a Morton set, all twenty-nine mins and of it:
The songs are WOLVERINE BLUES / TURTLE TWIST / SMILIN’ THE BLUES AWAY / THE CRAVE / CHICAGO BREAKDOWN / MISTER JELLY LORD (sung by Keith) / SHREVEPORT STOMP.
Mastery (and generosity)!
