The Fried Seven Roll Some Jelly

The music of Jelly Roll Morton has cast its captivating spell over generations of jazz musicians and listeners alike. At times joyously hot, at times profoundly blue, Morton’s music blends ragtime rhythms with a sensuous “Spanish tinge” and a uniquely melodic voice to create an experience that is both physically and emotionally satisfying. The Fried Seven, with guest pianist Andrew Oliver, get to the heart of Morton’s music in a way that few others have. The performances in this stunning album, modeled on Morton’s Red Hot Peppers sessions of the 1920s, capture all the excitement and virtuosity of the original records, respectfully and lovingly transformed through the Fried Seven’s youthful, exuberant lens. Recorded in the historic Muziekcentrum van de Omroep studio in Hilversum, the Netherlands, by Frans de Rond (known to audiophiles worldwide for his Sound Liaison productions) the recording itself is a musical and sonic marvel: a real showpiece for any high-end system, whether you enjoy it on CD, vinyl, or as a digital download. (The 180g premium white vinyl pressings by Optimal in Germany ensure superb fidelity.) The Fried Seven consists of: Pablo Castillo (cornet), Matteo Paggi (trombone), Marti Mitjavila (clarinet and tenor sax), Pepijn Mouwen (clarinet and baritone sax), Cem Karayalcin (guitar, banjo), William Barrett (string bass), and Carlos Ayuso (drums). With insightful commentary by Julio Schwarz-Andrade and eye-catching artwork by Sara Lievre, The Fried Seven Roll Some Jelly brings a fresh twist to the timeless music of Jelly Roll Morton, as relevant and moving today as ever. 14 tracks. 47 minutes.
