More about the Complete Morton Project:
The Complete Morton Project was an extraordinary endeavor that delved deep into the rich musical legacy of pianist and composer Jelly Roll Morton. Born Ferdinand Joseph LaMothe in 1890, Morton had been a pivotal figure in the early development of jazz, a genre he helped shape with his innovative compositions and performances. This ambitious project aimed to celebrate and revive Morton’s extensive body of work, bringing his music to new audiences while preserving the authenticity of his sound. It encompassed a thorough exploration of Morton’s contributions, from his seminal recordings in the 1920s to lesser-known pieces, providing listeners with a comprehensive understanding of his influence on jazz.

Launched by a dedicated team of musicians, the Complete Morton Project meticulously recreated Morton’s original arrangements, often using period instruments and recording techniques to capture the essence of his era. This commitment to historical accuracy extended to the project's research, which involved poring over old scores, manuscripts, and recordings to ensure fidelity to Morton’s original intentions. The project also included modern interpretations, offering a fresh perspective on Morton’s work while highlighting the timeless quality of his compositions. These renditions were designed to showcase the versatility and enduring appeal of Morton’s music, demonstrating its relevance in contemporary contexts.

At the heart of the Complete Morton Project was a passion for education and outreach. Through detailed liner notes, educational videos, and interactive online content, the project aimed to educate audiences about Morton’s life and the broader cultural and historical context of his music. By engaging with fans on social media, hosting live events, and encouraging community participation, the project not only honored Morton’s legacy but also fostered a deeper appreciation for the roots of jazz. Each release and performance was a celebration of Morton’s genius, inviting listeners to sit back, relax, and immerse themselves in the incredible variety and passion that defined his work.
