"The Pearls" played by Jelly Roll Morton
By Frank Himpsl 

Re: 990507 MMDigest

Congratulations to Karl Ellison, for finding this long lost roll
performance by the greatest jazz master of them all!!    I've heard
the roll, and it's just fantastic.   Pure Jelly Roll Morton, done in
his finest hour. Also, the greatest of heartfelt thanks to Karl for
generously recutting this gem and sharing it with us all.   This is
one of the greatest piano roll discoveries of the last 25 years!!!
