Jelly Roll Morton And His Orchestra, King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band - Muddy Water Blues / Snake Rag

Side A recorded June 1923 in Chicago, first released on National 12251.
A completely wrong band line-up is stated on the label of this release, compare other releases of this recording. This line-up has nothing to do with Jelly Roll Morton or any of his bands, it belongs to side B. The correct line-up would be:

Cornet: Tommy Ladnier or Bernie Young
Trombone: Unknown Artist (it's not Roy Palmer!)
Clarinet: Wilson Townes
Alto Saxophone: Arville Harris
Piano: Jelly Roll Morton
Woodblocks: Jasper Taylor

Side B recorded April 6, 1923 in Richmond, IND., first released on Gennett 5184. A different recording date is often given on other releases (March 31, 1923), which is due to a reading error from the Gennett files. In addition, it is unclear whether Bud Scott actually played the banjo and Bill Johnson played the bass, or rather Bill Johnson played the banjo. At least that's what it says in the recording dates. Bud Scott only joined the recordings on June 22, 1923 ("Snake Rag", Matrix number 8391-A). That's why I didn't list them in the line-up, even though they are named on the label.

There is a similar release with red letter-colour.
