There are some really astounding murder ballads Jelly played for the Library of Congress, he drops the F-Bomb in there. Pretty gritty blues. Check those out. Also, I know of at least one recording of Jelly with a band he directed, hence the picture. I have an album of his band work entitled Jelly Roll Morton - that might not be much help. I don't have the original cd anymore so I couldn't say who put the album out. Anyway, he is an amazing Jazz pianist and orchestrator, who lived quite a life (see previous entry).
