This edition of Brass, Reeds, and Percussion features official German military marches based on themes from operas. But this edition opens with a triple play of a jazz standard written by Jelly Roll Morton in 1906; namely, “The King Porter Stomp.” We will begin with the first recording of the tune, the one made in1923 with Morton himself playing the piano. Then we will hear the 1935 recording by the Benny Goodman band, a recording that became a big big band hit. The third version will be a 1955 recording of the tune arranged by Pete Rugolo, obviously made with better recording equipment.
