Agree people were more tolerant back then, but I don’t know that you should get TOO nostalgic for the 20′s and 30′s (and this is coming from a fan of the popular culture of the era). The composer of this tune, King Oliver, fled North due to Jim Crow -even in many areas of the North segregation was the rule. In 1933, 25% of America was unemployed and it took a world war to ultimately fix that. Polio was real and feared. Medical and Dental advances we take for granted were decades away.
This song is perfect. And the clarinet, waoh.
So, is this Morton singing?
Yes. Its Morton in one of the rare recordings in which he performed vocals.
I enjoyed your video! Maybe Doctor Jazz will cure me.

Ferdinand Joseph LaMothe [Mouton]….b. Oct. 20 1885 & d. 10 July 1941.
GENIUS
Hear Library of Congress recordings by Lomax ~ FASCINATING & available on CD ~ & read “Mr. Jelly Lord” ~ “Honeh! Ahm the suit man from SUIT land!” LOLOL!!
Could be you’re right. The meaning is the same in either case.
How could you credit the writers of this recording as anyone besides Morton himself? It is well known that most if not all of his publishing was hijacked by the Melrose name.
Also, there are a number of tunes with his own vocals on them.
I would certainly agree with you that Melrose took credit for the work of many composers, not just Morton, while they were employed at the Melrose firm as composers. However, Dr. Jazz WAS composed by pioneer jazzman King Oliver. Melrose changed the arrangement and thus added the Melrose name, rightly or wrongly, to the Dr. Jazz composer credits. This arrangement is unmistakably JRM and when Morton recorded this for Victor/Electrola Morton had no problem giving his friend King Oliver credit.
thanks for the clarification.
I’ m here from Charlie Chaplin.
A Night in the Show?
Police.
Well, earlier today I phoned MY Doctor Jazz and he came up with the goods! Everybody happy this evening.
Thanks for this romp, Pres, great music.
Good to hear from you again! Thanks for stopping by to try Dr. Jelly Roll’s cure for the blahs. Now everybody’s happy.
Showed this in History today. Doing all about the Jazz movement of the 20s during the boom in America. Actually a nice song to be honest.
this is not actually mate,Morton sang a lot in Alan Lomax(listen them)

Joe Oliver had the good doctor Morton in mind when he penned this! The real deal!!
Can’t add anything to that comment. Thanks for visiting the 20s channel.
