About "Billy Goat Stomp (Take 1)" by Jelly Roll Morton's Red Hot Peppers
Jelly Roll Morton's 1920s Red Hot Peppers stomp through a barnyard with elegance and menace. 'Billy Goat Stomp' is a take-no-prisoners rag, all syncopated hooves and clarinet bleats. The tension: precision versus chaos, each note a hoofprint in mud.
