Doctor Jazz June 27, 2007

This set demonstrates that Morton knew exactly what sound he wanted from his musicians, and his own playing underpins the proceedings. The earliest side is an acoustic recording dating from 1923 but, unlike the polyphonic sound of other contemporary recordings, here the strands of the music are laid out deliberately for close inspection. That is but a foretaste of what follows, for the Red Hot Peppers sides leap out at the listener, demanding attention as solo piles upon solo, painting a brilliant canvas of sound in primary colours. We may regret that only two piano solos are included, but the two rare Levee Serenaders sides are to be welcomed, despite the less focussed quality of the recordings. By the late thirties Morton's career was in decline, but happily he had an opportunity to record some classic numbers with his New Orleans Jazzmen, four of which are included here. His final studio recordings with his "Six" and "Seven" are far less orchestrated than anything that had gone before, almost as if the group had merely come together for a jam session, and Red Allen's lead on "Panama" provides a fitting conclusion to this superb collection.
