BACK TO THE RECORDS

PRESS

Tokarski, who has the Morton style down very well but also displays his own ideas, generally plays the rags straight at first before turning them into vehicles for early jazz improvising. Certainly these recordings of such songs as “Frog Legs Rag” “Weeping Willow, “Pineapple Rag,” “St. Louis Tickle,” “Black and White Rag,” and “The Cascades” are different than any other recorded versions, swinging harder than the usual renditions with Tokarski opening up each number to add spontaneous yet tasteful ideas. Jelly Roll Morton would have approved. SYNCOPATED TIMES US

Jelly Roll Morton never recorded with bass and drums, but these interpretations by up-and-coming pianist Kris Tokarski give us an insight into how he may have sounded playing in a New Orleans bar in the 1920s and ’30s. Thousands of rags were written between 1899 and 1917, so why not a series by Kris? JUST JAZZ UK
