In both sound quality and price, England's JSP Records continues to put the American major labels to shame with their prewar jazz collections. Following superb multidisc releases of seminal recordings by Louis Armstrong and Django Reinhardt, JSP now offers this Jelly Roll Morton compendium, which includes all his Victor recordings from 1926 to 1930. Thanks to the work of remastering guru John R.T. Davies and a sinfully reasonable price, this five-disc collection far surpasses any U.S. release. The music is exuberant and evocative throughout, as Morton's substantial composing and arranging talents come into clear focus. He was able to maintain the joyous ensemble spirit of New Orleans jazz while continuing the music's evolution toward swing's sophistication. Focusing on Morton's Chicago prime, volume 1 is full of highlights, not just of this set, but of early jazz as a whole. Especially noteworthy is the trio date with the Dodds brothers, from June 1927, that yielded "The Pearls," "Wolverine Blues," and "Mr. Jelly Lord."Volume 2 follows Morton to New York and features a few forceful piano solos, a strong session with trumpeter Red Allen and unsung clarinet player Albert Nicholas, plus a standout trio date with clarinetist Barney Bigard and drummer Zutty Singleton. Volume 3 is not as consistently brilliant, but offers some gems as well, including cuts with Nicholas and trumpeter Ward Pinkett on board from July 1930. The final two discs contain mostly alternative takes, but unfortunately, the masters of Morton's terrific New York session debut are for some reason buried at the end of disc four's alternates. It is, however, a tiny caveat considering the overall worth of this indispensable box. --Marc Greilsamer

Excellent And Superior Set: Best By Far!.......2006-12-23
Moreover, the price is a great bargain. Also, I was not aware of JSP, and the problems that this particular distributor of music was embroiled in. However, the sound is just great. And I do highly recommend it to all viewers. I am not sure if amazon has a listening sample [I am pretty sure they do] but if they do, I would highly recommend you listening to these great sounds. Of course nothing sounds as good as it would on your stero, however, if you have never listened to Jelly Roll Morton, then I would recommend you take a few minutes out of your time and listen to the listening sampling's that amazon offers its viewers. [If it is there]. And if not, listen to some of the other Jelly Roll Morton CD samples that I do know are listed. Jelly Roll Morton's place in the pantheon of jazz is paramount to anyone who wants to build a jazz collection. And I recommend that you start with these magnificent recordings. Highly recommended.
Great Set -- unfortunate that it's JSP.......2005-09-15
Otherwise, the sound quality is superb, another smashing John R. T. Davies production! The impact of Morton's body of work is incalculable --- what a vital set for any jazz collection!

Jelly Roll Morton was at a creative peak in Chicago in 1926 and '27, surrounded by first-rate fellow New Orleans musicians and with plenty of opportunities to record. Many of the musicians who contributed to Louis Armstrong's Hot Five and Hot Seven recordings appear here--trombonist Kid Ory, banjoist Johnny St. Cyr, clarinetist Johnny Dodds, and his drummer brother Baby Dodds--while George Mitchell contributes sterling cornet leads. Each track is a compressed masterpiece, a jigsaw puzzle of written composition, improvised ensembles, solos and duets, often with sound effects and bantering comic patter thrown in. "Black Bottom Stomp" and "The Chant" are brilliant examples of Morton's energized fusion of contrasting elements, while the piquant "Someday Sweetheart," with its combination of violins, guitar, and Omer Simeon's bass clarinet, demonstrates Morton's inventiveness as an orchestrator. From low humor to high mimicry, Morton was an artist of ebullient spirit who brought the whole of his experience to the recording studio: the car horn of "Sidewalk Blues," the forced laughter of "Hyena Stomp," and the barnyard vocals of "Billy Goat Stomp." By contrast, the final Chicago session includes compact trio performances of "Wolverine Blues" and "Mr. Jelly Lord" by Morton and the Dodds brothers that are refined intersections of ragtime and jazz improvisation. --Stuart BroomerCustomer Reviews:

WHo else could take the Sex Pistols' "Anarchy in the UK" and turn it into a Yabba-Dabbo-doo Flinstone's Theme song? Brilliant I say again.
Of course this album can be played the whole way through without hitting the >> button once. Who can deny themselves of driving down the highway while screaming out "It's Poo poo! Poo poo! Poo Poo! I got poo poo on my shoe!" Yes we all remember singing this driving 90 MPH down I-75.
Good ol' trailer trash metal I call this. And you know what? There are thousands of bands making music like this everyday. Just checkout sites like SOundclick.com and Garageband.com. There are some really sick, crazy people out there (My self included. I am lead singer and guitarist for The Buttplugs). We can thank Green Jello for starting this wave of mass stupidity and foresight. This is the band that revolutionized the home recording studio.
Inde musicians everywhere must bow to the brilliance (I say it again) of this band for opening the doors for all the lunatics. Green Jello may have been the first 'Video Only' band, but they are far from the last. I just want to say on behalf of all guitar playing perverts........Thank you Green Jello.

Wynton Marsalis's century-closing series of jazz and classical recordings isn't nearly the pulse-quickening excursion one might expect, what with all the fanfare and all the years the vaunted trumpeter has spent in the limelight. That said, his nod to Jelly Roll Morton is probably one of the better Marsalis recordings available. It's got enough rules built in--compositional economy, instrumental variation, etc.--that it disciplines the trumpeter's more ambitious tendencies. In the liner notes, Marsalis describes Morton dually as a jazz intellectual and a streetwise hustler, and anyone familiar with Morton will know the characterization is apt. Marsalis's read of Morton, however, skips the street hustle and instead focuses on cleanly drawn portraits that amount to fine repertory pieces, works akin to chamber music in their ultimate impact. That's not so much of a putdown as it might seem, as African-American composers are so rarely treated the way European and Euro-American composers are. Morton knew this and wrote his way around it, much as Duke Ellington and Charles Mingus did. And Jelly Roll's stomping-good-time melodies are here to show his knowledge of both his audience and his compositional chops. But if you're expecting something innovative or hair-raising in the way of Marsalis rediscovering an untapped Jelly Roll vein, you'll be greeted instead with full-bore, horn-rich charts that swing strongly. And that ain't half bad. --Andrew BartlettCustomer Reviews:
Fabulous Reference level recording.......2007-01-12

The album is based on a very complicated story. Even more intense than The Elder by KISS. 333 is the half-life of the Beast. It involves carbon dating and complicated symbology. If you begin your trek towards understanding the secrets of 333, beware. There's no looking back once you start. Was Jesus a Martian? Is Wisconsin hell? Does St. Francis of Asissi really hold the secret to tme travel? The answers are yours to discover
Classic Band.......2004-01-18
Green Jelly (originaly named Green Jello) got sued by Jello company because they named there band after the snack. So Jello company got pissed and sued. If you want my opinion that's just plain stupid. It didn't hurt anyone.
"Cereal Killer Soundtrack" was good but nothing beats this album. From "Carnage Rules" to "The Bear Song" you can't help yourself but to just get up and dance around. There is a song on this album that makes me sad. "Anthem" talks about sex, drugs and rock n'roll and the song has a nice slow goofy beat to it. It reminds me so much of the 90's.
Nothing can bring back the earlier 90's unlike this CD.

The resurgence of rock in most aspects of popular music has certainly not gone unnoticed by Lemon Jelly's Fred Deakin and Nick Franglen as '64-'95 is littered with epic guitars and explosive refrains nestling amongst the downbeat soul for which they are best known. Opener "Come Down on Me" is tense, fiery, and for the most part dominated by the partnership of crashing power-chords and a lead synth that, while not big-beat, wouldn't sound out of place on an old Lo-Fi's or Chemical Brothers' album. However, for anyone missing the sugary sweetness of Lost Horizons, most of the album is business as usual--strict drum patterns and rolling, mesmeric loops of lush strings, acoustic guitars (that sound great if a little bit cheesy), and lovable bass hooks. Among the deviations in formula are "The Shouty Song," which comes across as some sort of harsh, contemporary jig and "The Slow Train," which utilizes a barber shop quartet to fantastic effect. From start to finish '64-'95 is pretty much devoid of filler and it culminates in the wondrous epic "Go," with the beat poet talents of William Shatner building to a crescendo that'll send anyone home with a smile on their face. --David TruemanAlbum Description
Introducing '64-'95, the third instalment in Lemon Jelly's rich history of long-players. Breaking away from any (Jelly) mould, Fred Deakin and Nick Franglen have altered the ship's course somewhat and we are treated to '64-'95; their most diverse record yet. Lemon Jelly have made an album entirely based upon unlikely samples swiped from their vast record collections. Not unlike one of their DJ sets, they flip between musical styles at will and make light work of cramming metal, 70s pop, Euro house, R&B, punk and more into just one album. The title, '64-'95, simply signifies the span in years of the various samples they've used and, as ambitious as the whole thing sounds, it works. The list of musical mavericks willingly plundered in the cause of the good ship Jelly includes 70s popsters Gallagher and Lyle, Scottish post-punkers the Scars, US R&B balladeer Monica and none-more-heavy metallers, the Masters of Reality. Each track manages to come as a complete stylistic surprise without losing any flow from one to the next; having said that, it's probably best not to mention the Maori crooner or Captain James T. Kirk for the moment.Customer Reviews:
Different, Better.........2007-03-25
Finally the melodic hypnotic and a classy piece of work. .......2007-01-20
Highlights for me were '88 (Come Down On Me) it's a good ole rocking tune, nuff said. '95 (Make Things Right) is a light and breezy tune that leaves you feelin' seriously good. '90 (A Man Like Me) has a good groove that just holds on. Lastly the added touch of the worlds greatest living actor William Shatner patched in on '64 (Go) was a nice touch.
There are still a couple of tunes that I thought were just cop-outs like '93 (Don't Stop Now) just became annoying instead of hypnotic and '76 (The Slow Train) with it's typical D&B drum track made me wanna run the other way.
Anybody can cut and past samples into Acid Pro or Reason and so many "artists" just cop-out take the easy road and neglect the listener for the sake of self indulgence.
But to take a blank pallet and add in loops and samples and chip away at that stone until something musical, melodic and really interesting that still grooves is revealed is... well that's hard.
This album is 80% there.

Old Sounds In New Ways.......2006-06-19
This is an almost schizophrenic collection of ambitious and cleverly crafted songs. The album veers like a roller coaster into realms of hyper-intensity (see the lush-with-static and aptly named "Shouty Track" which lifts bits from "Horror Show" by The Scars) and then suddenly and shockingly eases into liquid and light-as-bubblegum sounds (check out "Stay With You," which borrows judiciously from the Gallagher and Lyle song of almost the same name, and was the first single released from this disc).
With the use of expert timing, some ingenious musical harvesting, and an ear for complimentary dichotomies in music, Lemon Jelly serves up a hot and cold brew of incredibly catchy and soulfully subversive tunes. "A Man Like Me" tip-toes around samples of "Sensitivity" by Ralph Tresvant with windy but heart-thumping chords. The Masters of Reality's "Blue Garden" lends its industrial strength to "Come Down On Me," which kicks this album off with an intoxicating bang. And William Shatner's all-too-recognizable voice gives the last track, "Go," a sense of urgency and freneticism that will make you want to hit the REPEAT button on your player.
This is an album of ups and downs, but only in the best of ways, and for people interested in the tweak and twist of old sounds in new ways, it will be a great addition to your CD collection.

Amazon.com's Best of 2001
A collection of three EPs released in limited quantities by this London duo (Nick Franglen and Fred Deakin), Lemonjelly.ky is what happens when you mix electronic psychedelia with downtempo beats, a selection of warm and organic sounds, a splash of sunshine, and a big dose of smiles. Coming across like a series of electronic fairy tales designed for warm, hazy afternoons in the park, Lemon Jelly are all about a good time, chill style. Kruder & Dorfmeister would approve, as would the Orb, but Lemon Jelly also have a stoner's sense of humor to accompany their warmly chaotic mixes. Take "A Tune for Jack," with its big sea elephants and smooth high-synth sound that evokes the Parisian duo Air, and then try the amusingly instructional voiceover during "The Staunton Lick." Both illustrate clearly that for Lemon Jelly there are no rules other than to let your imagination (fueled as it might be) wander where it must. Indeed, one of the most delightful things about this album, as you meander through stunningly lush pastures like "Homage to Patagonia" and the melancholic romance of "Kneel Before Your God," is its ability to marry great music with a genuine sense of goodwill and happy disorder. If Alice ever did manage to hear some tunes as she tripped about Wonderland, Lemonjelly.ky must have been the soundtrack she enjoyed. --Steffan ChiraziAlbum Description
Nick Franglen and Fred Deakin are the London based duo who make up Lemon Jelly. Fred is a DJ and designer whose illustration work frequently appears in The Face magazine. His wobbly, bubbly graphics are a good visual translation of the Lemon Jelly sound. Nick is a producer who has worked with Primal Scream, Bjork and Pulp. The record consists of the three limited edition UK 10 inch EP's that the group released between '98 and '00. The juicy melodious sounds fit in right next to bands like Air and Thievery Corporation but truly exist in a cartoon world of their own. Deluxe gatefold dogipack. 2001 release.Album Details

Lemon Jelly: www.lemonjelly.ky (Impotent Fury/XL).......2006-08-05
Headline: The Beginner's Guide to Understanding Lemon Jelly
Every artist that to those who haven't heard of them is an "acquired taste" needs an introduction of some sort. An album so early is just rushing into them after and not letting anyone get to know your music or what you do, before expecting something righteous and good on the album. I knew nothing about Lemon Jelly's EPs. I first bought Lost Horizons and fell in love with the album and Lemon Jelly, because it sent me on an adventure in different songs that I would never forget. The "greatest hits" album of '64-'95 just gave me Lemon Jelly's rendition of other people's songs, if he had a chance to remix them all into their own work. Both of them were really good. So I wonder what www.lemonjelly.ky has to offer. After listening to this, it sounds not only like a blueprint for an excellent album like Lost Horizons, but it is a good beginner's guide for those who want to shake hands with Lemon Jelly through the headphones.
The album is actually a collection (call them a reissue, if you'd like) of the three EPs they had created. Each one had some sort of a personality. The Bath EP feel good music; Yellow EP was Adventurous, and Midnight EP had a beautifully nocturnal or magical outlook. The weakest of the three has to be the Bath. "In The Bath" starts off with a spacious instrumental (none the bubbly), with the woman being made to say over the beat, "What do you do in the bath?" And no one quite bothers to answer. But for those who can get past the repetition will find the music quite adventurous. It made me want to picture getting in the shower, slipping on some soap and landing in an ocean, crawling through a pipe, only to end up in a kid's swimming Pool, step on the grass, to be flipped on the other side as the sun shines while the stereotypical Egypt walks towards me, and at the end, I come out of the bath floating in a bubble. All of that while listening to "In the Bath", and it made it even more enjoyable. "Nervous Tension" samples a Yoga-like tape to relax your mind, yet the music doesn't follow too much suit as the song sounds like it is trying to create a soundtrack of Portishead in a day spa. "A Tune for Jack" is just a feel good travel through an instrumental for a sea elephant named Jack, and through both that and an interruption by a baby boy trying to say "bumblebee", the adventure seems pretty worth the trip underwater That was what it is like in The Bath. Now to describe the bright Yellow EP.
Kicking off the Yellow EP was "Our Majesty King Raam", which is a bright salute to King Raam, as well as one of those tracks where you know they went over the time limit somewhere. If they haven't, then this album would do well as the track to have a morning theme to it, because from the keyboard reminiscent of Roy Ayers, thissounds like quite an homage for the track. One that didn't even tell us what kind of man King Raam was, but an homage anyway. Next, is "The Staunton Lick", where at the beginning is an awkward walk-through of how to play "The Staunton Lick" from an instruction tape on how to "Teach Yourself Folk Guitar". From that was born a balloon ride or a view over the canyon, with only your guitar to accompany you there. Now, as for the majestic "Homage to Patagonia", the 9 ½ minutes it takes to spread its worldly charm around is used when one half soundtracks a walk through Patagonia (complete with Chinese strings), and an ending as breathtaking as the sun to the common eye. Now that we got the Yellow EP (known to me as the Morning album), the Midnight EP has plenty in store, if you enjoyed your stay at Yellow.
"Kneel Before Your God" sounds like the song that should have graced the What the Bleep Do We Know!? Movie for it's soundtrack through your mind, and a good way to grace your thoughts on spiritual balance. Speaking of spiritual balance, "Page One" is only majestic if you, too, were to pretend that all around you weren't any pizza parlors, or any streets. Just nothing but a field of life, as God once made it, with a sweep of evolution before your eyes. For that concept alone in the song, it is one of the most beautiful pieces on the album. "Come" ends the collection appropriately with a dream-like interpretation of an angel leading you to a happy and forgiving world. The end of the album is the Morning all over again. Well, the Bath in terms of album sequence.
If I ran the album, this would have been Lemon Jelly's concept album as an ode to one day, made from just three EPs representing Lemon Jelly's hellos. The Bath will be in the middle for that to happen. Lost Horizons and `64-`95 were such adventures that we want to know where it will take us. www.lemonjelly.ky, time-wise, ,may sem a little too long, but it is going to take you a while to get into the trip. Lemon Jelly has that charm. So, if you heard their EPs and only, then you are just learning all about the crazy, quirky, and overall rare charm of Lemon Jelly. The crash course is when you buy their further concept-based recordings. That's where the real vacations begin.
