Tin Roof Blues - Louis Armstrong and the All Stars - An evening with Louis Armstrong and The All Stars recorded on January 20, 1956 at Civic Auditorium, Pasadena, CA. Tin Roof Blues is a jazz composition first recorded by the New Orleans Rhythm Kings (NORK) in 1923. It was written by band members Paul Mares, Ben Pollack, Mel Stitzel, George Brunies and Leon Roppolo. The tune has become a jazz standard and is one of the most often played early New Orleans jazz pieces. The sheet music was published by Melrose music with an illustration of a dance hall on Washington Avenue in New Orleans. The origin of the composition has caused some controversy. It has been claimed that the tune was based on New Orleans pianist Richard M. Jones's earlier composition "Jazzin' Babies Blues", specifically Joe "King" Oliver's rendition of it. Oliver recorded Jones's tune in June 1923, two months after NORK's "Tin Roof Blues" was released. Listeners claimed that NORK had already been playing the tune several months before recording it. Jazz critic Martin Williams argues in his book that "the only real similarity he hears between them is that they are both 12-bar blues.
