Listener Reviews & Comments
The music accompanying 7 of the 10 cartoons is not just SOME honkeytonk piano player. It is the incomparable JELLY-ROLL MORTON & HIS RED HOT PEPPERS! (16 tracks) There are also 4 tracks by Morton's Trio. All 20 Morton recordings date from 1929-30. They start with "Mint Julep" and "Mississippi Mildred" from a session recorded 11-13-29 and end with "Crazy Chords" recorded 6-2-30. Musicians in Morton's groups include Red Allen, Albert Nicholas, Barney Bigard, Paul Barbarin and Zutty Singleton. The sound quality is exceptional for recordings of that time; very little surface noise. The cartoons themselves mostly date from 1923-25. Granted, the music has no direct relationship to the cartoon action but I found it greatly enhanced my enjoyment. Such uplifting, fun music. Different music was used on "All Puzzled," "Golden Goose" and "Neptune." Had Morton's music been used on all 10 cartoons I would have given 5 stars. If you own other Felix dvd's, turn off that horrible organ music and put on some 1923 King Oliver or other early 1920's instrumental jazz recording. You'll be amazed!
