rico,
That's what I suspsected- Jelly Roll Morton couln't be the pure arogant asshole as depitced in "1900", he must've been more like an earlier Muhammad Ali, spouting off, but humourously and intelligently- taking the mickey out of the people that take things so seriously that they can't enjoy it- and that is antithetical to jazz and, I suppose, professional sports.
Plus, Morton had to be brilliant in more than just music- his stuff is so complex and yet integrated in nature.
And yes, he could as advertised- "deliver the goods" whilst committing the tickling of the ivories.
Cheers,
Bambi B
