🎹 Jelly Roll Morton's "Black Bottom Stomp" - the 1926 jazz masterpiece that made the 1920s swing! This isn't just a jazz song - it's Morton's innovative combination of ragtime, blues, and early jazz elements recorded with his Red Hot Peppers. That distinctive piano playing? Pure jazz magic. The "Spanish tinge" style? Revolutionary for its time. Fun fact: Jelly Roll Morton claimed to have invented jazz in 1902, and while that's debatable, his recordings with the Red Hot Peppers represent some of the most sophisticated jazz arrangements of the 1920s. The track's name refers to the popular Black Bottom dance of the era. When Morton plays, you're experiencing the birth of sophisticated jazz. ✨
