5.0 out of 5 stars To "Musical Fanatics": Best musical ever SEEN OR HEARD!!., December 6, 2004

May 27, 2003 I take it anyone who actually SAW the musical could surely not say It didn't have a plot or story line. Or maybe they weren't REALLY paying attension while listening to it. I saw the broadway cast in 92 with the Great Gregory Hines and Savion Glover @ the Bule Theatre in Denver Colorado. I was Absolutely Blown Away by the talent of the Dancers,singers,actors, and instrumentalists. I am a singer/dancer myself and have always been a critic of Broadway Musicals And I have NEVER seen anything quite able to reach the talent that I saw on that stage before or since in my life so far! I hope some day it will come back to the stage it is greatly missed. I need people to see it so they finally understand why I have been bragging about it for so many years. I am also VERY disappointed that not very many people saw it when it came out and can someone please explain to me why it hasn't come back to the stage since 1992 yet?! P.S. WHY CAN"T I BUY THE DVD OF THE ACTUAL MUSICAL!

Love him or hate him, Jelly Roll Morton's life and genius are unveiled in this recording. The writing is superb and the music is even better. Gregory Hines undoubtedly gives his best performance ever. I have actually reordered this cd twice because family members keep stealing it from me. It's just that good.

This review is from: Jelly's Last Jam (1992 Original Broadway Cast) (Audio CD)

This NEEDS to be on DVD. Now that we all know who Savion Glover is (the HAPPY FEET Guy!!!!!!), we need to see more of the real thing. Penguins are great dancers, but Savion is carrying on the tradition of the great Gregory Hines and his family and even Fred Astaire. Tappers are just happy people!!!
