I was wondering if there were any Diamond Disks of Jelly Roll Morton. I know that Thomas A. Edison didn't approve of jazz so I'm not to hopeful.

I don't think Jelly Roll Morton ever recorded for Edison, although there are several Diamond Discs featuring Morton-composed selections played by other artists: Black Bottom Stomp recorded by Red and Miff's Stompers (51878), Jelly Roll Blues by The Original Memphis Five (51246). There are also others composed partly by Morton (like Sidewalk Blues), again performed by others.

Well at least there is some of his music on Edison recordings. Now I wonder what my chances are of finding any of them at a price I can afford.
