Hometown
New Orleans, LA, United States
Born
October 20, 1885
Genre
Jazz
Jelly Roll Morton may have been indulging in typical hyperbole when he advertised himself as the inventor of jazz, but one has to concede his role as the idiom's first important composer. A wonderful pianist who could also sing, he brilliantly distilled the polyglot influences of his native New Orleans into masterpieces of pulsating polyphony on his classic recordings of the 1920s, including "Dead Man Blues" and "Black Bottom Stomp." Morton's later career was short-circuited by ever-shifting musical trends, but his Library of Congress interviews with Alan Lomax provide a unique insight into the nearly vanished musical culture from which he had sprung.
Jelly Roll Morton has also released music as a member of Jelly Roll Morton's New Orleans Jazzmen, Jelly Roll Morton and His Orchestra, Levee serenaders, Jelly Roll Morton's Steamboat Four, Jelly Roll Morton's Incomparables, Jelly Roll Morton's Jazz Band, Jelly Roll Morton's Kings Of Jazz, Jelly Roll Morton's Stomp Kings, Jelly Roll Morton's Hot Seven, and N.O.R.K..
