Subject: RE: Alan Lomax / Jelly Roll morton
The recordings are fascinating (not to say downright rude at times). If you haven't access to them, you can find transcriptions of the talks on this site: Library of Congress Narrative - Jelly Roll Morton and Alan Lomax - Transcribed by Michael Hill · Roger Richard · Mike Meddings

I didn't check the site, but I think they're complete transcriptions. Also, as it says on the site, "Readers should be aware that a number of the recordings contain obscene language, which some may find offensive. To retain historical accuracy, no attempt has been made to censor them.", so sensitive souls take heed!
