about

On July 26, 2014, the Edgewood Saxophone participated in a concert of the music of Jelly Roll Morton, the first great jazz composer, as part of the Creative Music in Hapeville concert series. Here is the EST's part of that concert. Recording quality is casual rather than studio-quality, and the performances are not always "perfect."

But the EST played Jelly's music with both respect and abandon, sometimes taking his New Orleans jazz into the cosmos. In addition to the two trio tracks, EST members Ben Davis and Bill Nittler each played a solo feature.

The photo was taken at the concert.

The release of this music is dedicated to the memory of Bill Nittler.
