Jelly Roll Morton - The Pearls James P. Johnson - Crying for the Carolines I was glad to see Pete Johnson’s Dive Bomber and some Albert Ammons. Lots of good stuff posted I’d never heard before.

James P. Johnson - Snowy Morning Blues Art Hodes discussing the first 1927 version “...As old as I’ve become, and as far as I’ve traveled, there’s something that Jimmy did on that recording that I’d still like to arrive at.” John Hammond named this recording as one of his favorites. Key of G 1927 1943

Here's another one to keep this thread alive. I wished they skipped that spoken intermezzo 'cause they had lots of tricks up their sleeves. Jimmy Blythe & W.E. Burton - Block and Tackle Blues (Key of C)
