Leon Roppolo on Record

An interesting article appeared on Leon in the last Clarinet magazine I received. Leon played with Jelly Roll Morton but sadly was not able to function well and did a few bizarre things, enough to land him in an asylum from time to time. I was able to locate one song of his on Clarinet Marmalade which has lots of clarinet players. But the old Jelly Roll records I haven't been able to locate. Supposedly they have been reissued on CD's. What would be my best bet for searching for these? They are from the years 1922 -1928. The band was the New Orleans Rhythm Kings.

Thanks!

I'm answering my own question. I found this at a place called MusicStack which deals in rare CDs.

What is "MusicStack", Carol? Internet site, music store, distributor... ? How do you get in touch ?

Carol,

Try this site it has access to 000's of early jazz recordings. Do a search for New Orleans Rhythm Kings for starters.
