For his recording debut, 24-year-old pianist Butch Thompson performs a dozen selections associated with Jelly Roll Morton, including a couple ("Tiger Rag" and Scott Joplin's "Original Rags") not actually composed by Morton but performed during his Library of Congress sessions. Thompson, who has long been considered one of the top interpreters of Morton's music, already had his technique and sound down at this early stage, and his solo recital (reissued on CD) is excellent.

Butch Thompson Plays Jelly Roll Morton Piano Solos. Today the premier interpreter of early piano jazz, Thompson showed even on this recording debut, at age 25, that his early promise as a piano prodigy would be fulfilled. On 12 tunes from the first half of the early jazz-piano master's career, Thompson lacks none of Morton's later sophistications. He has interpreted Morton's recordings afresh, though without modernization or one-upsmanship. He misses none of the tunes' nuances, including hints at ragtime, stomps, and Morton's tinge of tango
