Steamboat Stomp – Jelly Roll Morton’s Red Hot Peppers 1926
One of the most famous bands of the twenties and early thirties play Steamboat Stomp. These Morton recordings have been the musical basis of many of today’s jazz musicians. Some stayed within this format, others evolved into swing and into the many facets of the modern jazz styles. But in general every serious jazz musician knows about these recordings and it is one of the reasons I have started my audio site especially to emphasize on the importance of these wonderful early jazz clips to the youtube and daily motion world.
Of course there were no films made in those times, however some photography was done which I include with these clips.
In 1999 I recorded this tune with my Vancouver Hot Five. Maybe you like it our way as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOiNYt_zLrA
