Our Take

Oh, blimey! Get ready to be transported back in time to the soulful streets of 1920s New Orleans with Jelly Roll Morton’s latest album, “Oh / Mister Jelly!”

With infectious melodies and toe-tapping rhythms, Morton effortlessly showcases his undeniable talent as a pianist and composer. Each track on this album is like a musical journey, taking listeners on a wild ride through the roots of jazz and blues.

From the upbeat swing of “The Crave” to the melancholic beauty of “Sweet Substitute,” Morton’s versatility as an artist shines through in every note. His intricate piano playing is a joy to behold, with each key stroke telling a story of its own.

But it’s not just Morton’s musical prowess that makes this album a standout; his charismatic personality and cheeky sense of humour shine through in tracks like “Black Bottom Stomp” and “Sidewalk Blues.” It’s impossible not to crack a smile while listening to this infectious collection of songs.

In a world full of cookie-cutter pop stars and auto-tuned mediocrity, Jelly Roll Morton stands out as a true original, and “Oh / Mister Jelly!” is a testament to his enduring legacy in the world of music. So grab a glass of gin, kick back, and let Jelly Roll Morton’s timeless tunes wash over you – you won’t be disappointed. It's a right old knees-up, innit?
