Morton "Finger Buster" Played By Mike Meddings
By Alan Wallace
I am glad Julian Dyer has these files. If you have not heard live or
via recording these rolls, they are wonderful. I second everything
Julian has to say about them. I own all that Mike made available via
New England Music Rolls and believe them to be some of the finest done.
As Julian indicated, Mike transcribed them -- mistakes and all -- from
Jelly Roll Morton's recordings.
I know many of you know Mike and have seen his site, but there are
always new folks, so take a look: http://www.doctorjazz.co.uk/
If you have an interest, I would let Julian know. These are great
rolls with historic significance.
