Cette collection rend hommage à Jelly Roll Morton, le compositeur, donnant ses mélodies plein respect plutôt que de les transformer en véhicules d'improvisation. Le résultat est un bel exposé des possibilités musicales de solo jouer de la guitare fingerstyle et un hommage digne de Jelly Roll Morton, un des plus grands musiciens du XXe siècle.Les treize solos présentés dans cette collection couvrent un large éventail de la musique de Mr. Jelly Seigneur, chronologiquement et stylistiquement. Elles ont été organisées par le guitariste suédois Lasse Johansson. Lasse affiche une preuve suffisante de la viabilité des idées de la transposition Morton à la guitare. Morceaux comme King Porter Stomp et les sorts du grand-papa sont de bons exemples de l'expansion de Morton de l'approche de ragtime. Chicago Breakdown et surtout Wild Man Blues ont été rendus célèbres par Louis Armstrong. Et Dixie sait qu'elle a une qualité de folk, de la première section évoque Alabama Bound.Il s'agit d'un CD amélioré et tous les airs ont été transcrites dans l'onglet / la musique dans le livret de 72 pages PDF qui se trouve sur le CD. / Guitare
