Dead Man Blues: Jelly Roll Morton Way Out West Paperback - 2003
by Phil Pastras
First line
Ferdinand "Jelly Roll" Morton could brag almost as well as he could play piano-and, as the world knows, he played piano very well indeed.
From the rear cover
"It is hard to say which makes for the more compelling narrative: the life of jazz great Jelly Roll Morton or the detective work that Phil Pastras undertook in putting together this engaging book. Dead Man Blues tells both these tales admirably, drawing on a treasure-trove of previously unknown material. It is both an important contribution to jazz scholarship and a fascinating piece of storytelling."--Ted Gioia, author of The History of Jazz and West Coast Jazz
"Meticulously researched, including primary source material recently uncovered by the author, Dead Man Blues is not only a masterfully written, definitive account of Jelly Roll Morton's west coast years, but also a penetrating psychological and social study of the man and the forces that drove and shaped him."--Steve Isoardi, co-author of Central Avenue Sounds
"A must-read for all jazz aficionados."--Gerald Wilson
"One of the best books ever written about Jelly Roll Morton."--Gerald Wiggins, jazz pianist
