Simeon again sparkles, and the spiraling swoops of some of the ensemble passages will make you catch your breat like a rollercoaster.

What strikes me about the Peppers (including Kid Ory on trombone, Omer Simeon on clarinet, and Johnny St. Cyr on banjo) is their tremendous dynamic range, their use of loud/soft and fast/slow contrasts, their sense of swing, and the wild imaginations of the soloists.
In particular, Morton is a major talent and an innovator as a songwriter - not surprising given that his formative years included broad exposure to European music as well as early New Orleans jazz.
Maturing musically around the same time as African American jazz legends like Armstrong and clarinetists Sidney Bechet, Bix Beiderbecke was a trumpeter and a cornetist, and e was the first famous white jazz soloist and bandleader.

Eighty years ago, the sounds produced by budding orthodox Chicagoans' clarinets began to veer south.
The consequent sound was less broad, less immediately expressive than the fl or Creole New Orleanian ones adopted by such non-white Chicagoans as Omer Simeon and Darnell Howard.
It heats up quickly and intensifies into something still less broad, flexible, favouring rapid fingering.
