📌Jelly Roll Morton - Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin Street | Hot Jazz on Chesterton Radio

Описание: 📌 A blazing 1940 jam session with Jelly Roll Morton — the genius who helped invent jazz.

📜 “Art, like morality, consists of drawing the line somewhere.” — G.K. Chesterton

✒️ Chestertonian Introduction
The old masters of music knew that joy is never timid. It comes with trumpets, with dancing, with the riotous clatter of life proclaiming its own goodness. And perhaps nowhere is that joyful defiance more evident than in the early days of American jazz — when men like Jelly Roll Morton were busy inventing miracles on the fly.

To listen to this broadcast is to sit, as it were, in the very engine room of musical creation. While the world outside wrestled with its worries and wars, the Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin Street gathered musicians who refused to surrender their laughter — or their swing. Morton plays not as a man making noise, but as an artist reminding us that beauty often appears in the most unpretentious places: smoky rooms, crowded stages, and the lower end of Basin Street.

Here, rhythm becomes rebellion, melody becomes merriment, and jazz becomes — dare we say it — a hymn of gratitude.

🎧 EPISODE SYNOPSIS

Originally broadcast July 14, 1940 on NBC’s Blue Network, this standout episode of The Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin Street features legendary pianist and composer Jelly Roll Morton, one of jazz’s true founding fathers.

Hosted by “Dr. Gino Hamilton” with his mock-pompous commentary, the show delivers its trademark satire of highbrow classical music while unleashing pure New Orleans fire from Jelly Roll and the Basin Street bands. Expect dazzling piano runs, bluesy improvisations, Dixieland heat, and Lavalle vs. Levine musical interplay — all delivered with the cheeky theatrical flair that made CMSOLBS one of radio’s most beloved jazz variety programs.

A perfect introduction for new listeners, and an absolute must-hear for jazz devotees.
