ISSUE 17: JELLY ROLL MORTON
The Magazine
His business card boasted 'Originator of Jazz' and, of more than almost any jazzman of his era, this was true. From New Orleans he moved to Chicago and enjoyed a glittering few years as a bandleader and recording artist. He sank into obscurity in the 1930s, made a comeback, yet died forgotten.
The Music
Jelly was a sparkling pianist, an affecting singer, a brilliantly innovative arranger and, as he said himself, 'The World's Greatest Hot Tune Writer'. His compositions include some of jazz's best loved standards such as 'King Porter (A Stomp)', 'The Pearls', 'Mr Jelly Lord' and 'Doctor Jazz'.
