One of the most famous moments of the Library of Congress sessions: Morton demonstrates, strain by strain, how Tiger Rag grew out of an old French quadrille, playing each dance section and then showing what New Orleans musicians made of it.
It is a music lesson from someone who was in the room when jazz was invented, and a virtuoso performance in its own right; the closing strains take off at full tilt.
This file covers strains one to five, transcribed complete with the hands on separate channels.
