There's no question that historian/musicologist Alan Lomax, left, provided an invaluable service to jazz by recording Jelly Roll Morton's memories and music for the Library of Congress and then writing Mr. Jelly Roll, based on those recollections, but RAG writer William Schafer questions some of Lomax's methods and conclusions. Lomax is pictured here with guitarist/banjoist Danny Barker at a 1982 seminar in New Orleans. (Photo: Leslie Johnson)
