Greetings all,
Dave Kerr, the director of The New Century Ragtime Orchestra, asked me to post these great Jelly Roll Morton transcriptions (notated by J. Lawrence Cook) on his behalf.
Jazz and ragtime pianist and composer Tom Gordon had purchased them from Roy Carew and Tom's widow eventually gave them to Dave, who generously decided to share them with us.
Among the pieces you'll find "Don't You Leave Me Here" and that's one of the many existing versions of the old "I'm Alabama Bound" rag.
The piece was also recorded by many other artists under different titles, such as "Don't You Loudmouth Me" and "Daddy", the latter recently featured in piano roll version in a video posted by Frank Himpsl (let's check his great youtube channel!):
