THE PEARLS is part of Rounder Records' 4-disc Jelly Roll Morton retrospective.
The third volume in a four-disc set covering pianist/composer Jelly Roll Morton's 1938 Library of Congress Recordings includes the elaborate work "The Murder Ballad." It covers seven of the disc's 18 selections, and the choppy feel illuminates the problems inherent in Rounder's decision to edit Morton's vocal sections. During the original dates, producer Alan Lomax kept the tape rolling as Morton talked about his life, times and exploits, but Rounder opted to eliminate virtually all the oral narrative. Sometimes it's not glaring, but on "The Murder Ballad," it prevents the listener from hearing the accurate flow and feel of Morton's music. Those with sensitive ears beware; there's some sexually graphic and offensive (though hilarious) material. ~ Ron Wynn
All tracks have been digitally remastered.
Recorded at the Library Of Congress, Washington, D.C. in May-June 1938.
Solo performer: Jelly Roll Morton (vocals, piano).

MEMPHIS MONDAY MORNING was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Blues Album.
Released in 1998, this was Bobby Bland's 10th album for the Jackson, Mississippi-based Malaco Records. Bland is heard here in his late sixties. His voice had become coarse with age, but is no less convincing, impassioned, and downright sexy. Malaco regulars, most notably Robert A. Johnson, who died just before this release appeared ...

Otomo Yoshihide's New Jazz Quintet: Otomo Yoshihide (electric guitar, programming); Tsugami Kenta (alto saxophone); Kikuchi Naruyoshi (tenor saxophone); Yoshigaki Yasuhiro (trumpet, drums); Mizutani Hiroaki (bass).
Produced for John Zorn's label, which is appropriate, as the Japanese noise artist Otomo Yoshahide is frequently cited as the Tokyo avant-garde equivalent to New York's hyperactive composer. While generally miles apart in style, the New Jazz Quintet swings relatively close to the orbit of the '90s avant-garde work of John Zorn, who came full circle to an almost ...
| | Lightnin Hopkins Live At Newport CD (2002)
Pearls: Library Of Congress Vol. 3 music CDs
$12.49
There's something affecting about Lightnin' Hopkins' off-the-cuff approach. Whether he's in the studio or before an audience, he gives the impression of a guitar player and singer who's just doing his own thing. When he breaks out a signature piece like "Mojo Hand," he isn't really trying to impress the listener as much as do what he does best: just play a little blues. Recorded in 1965, Live at Newport captures Hopkins in a loose mood communing with an appreciative audience. The mostly solo electric set apparently didn't cause any controversy (as Dylan's electric set with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band ...
| | Crunk & Disorderly: Leaders Of The New South CD (2003)
Pearls: Library Of Congress Vol. 3 songs
$14.59 
This compilation brings together some of the most popular hardcore hip-hop artists from the South, including Ying Yang Twins, Lil Jon (generally acknowledged as the King of Crunk), and David Banner. CRUNK & DISORDERLY is somewhat akin to an audio version of the film SCARFACE: It's a nonstop in-your-face journey through the darkest, most violent, sociopathic aspects of the gangsta aesthetic. Not only do you find the likes of Pastor Troy and Lil Flip rapping about shooting anybody that gets in their way, you actually hear the gunshots. The inclusion of two Christmas-oriented tunes amid all the purposeful nastiness might at first seem like a humorous anomaly. Ultimately, though, it just underlines the degree to which the hardcore topics addressed on CRUNK & DISORDERLY merely represent another day on the job for rappers ...
