Jelly Roll Morton, the pioneering jazz pianist and composer (1890–1941), recorded his composition 'Climax Rag' for His Master's Voice; 'West End Blues' is Louis Armstrong's masterpiece, adapted here (likely by a British jazz ensemble rather than by Armstrong himself, who recorded the original for OKeh).
