Hear me talkin' to ya
Nat Shapiro and Nat Hentoff
"I have been robbed of three million dollars all told. Everyone today is playing my stuff and I don't even get credit. Kansas City style, Chicago style, New Orleans style – hell, they're all Jelly Roll style. I am a busy man now and have to spend all my time dealing with attorneys, but I am not to busy to get around and hear jazz that I myself introduced twenty-five years ago, before most of the kids was even born. All this jazz I hear today is my own stuff, and, if I had been paid rightfully for my work, I would now have three million dollars more than I have now."
Jelly Roll Morton (1890-1941)
