Piano Roll Search: "Jelly Roll Blues"
By Mark J. Labancz

Good Afternoon. A fellow MMDer, Claud W. Cavnar, Jr., wrote
on 25.11.06 MMDigest wondering if a piano roll was ever made
of "Jelly Roll Blues".

Please advise him yes. About 50 years ago I had an LP record
containing several Jelly Roll Morton piano roll recordings he
made, mostly for the Vocalstyle Roll Co. of Cincinnati, Ohio.
His "Original Jelly Roll Blues" was included.

If I recall correctly, the LP was on the Biograph label, which
I sold to a collector many years ago.

Thank you.
Mark Labancz
