FROM THE SHOW: JELLY ROLL MORTON

Pianist Jelly Roll Morton of New Orleans claimed to have invented jazz, and was certainly its first composer. In 1938 with Alan Lomax at the Library of Congress, Morton sketched the origins of jazz in a series of INTERVIEW:s and performances, excerpted here, with commentary from New Orleans clarinetist and researcher Dr. Michael White, and Dan Morganstern, the director of Rutgers University's Institute of Jazz Studies.

THE FOLK REVIVAL REVISITED

The American folk music revival that grew from the Post-WWII era to the Sixties was about more than just music: it wrapped in political activism, romantic visions of the self and the "folk," group "sing-a-longs," "hootenannies" and careers of singer-songwriters. We interview folk heroine Judy Collins about her move from traditional British folk songs to the new songs and sounds in Greenwich Village. Jug bandleader Jim Kweskin talks about his love of communal living. The late Pete Seeger and Alan Lomax offer opinions on their divergent views of folk music and the quest for authenticity. Jerry Garcia tells of his most influential folk music source and we'll hear Dylan go electric at Newport in 1965. Rhiannon Giddens talks about bringing back the peoples' music of another era today.
