Pioneering Jazz Composer and Pianist

Jelly Roll Morton, born Ferdinand Joseph LaMothe (or Lamothe) on October 20, 1890, in New Orleans, Louisiana, was a pivotal figure in the development of early jazz. He was a pianist, bandleader, composer, and arranger who claimed to have invented jazz, a boast that has been met with both skepticism and some degree of acknowledgement given his significant contributions to the genre. Morton's career spanned several key periods in the evolution of jazz, from its formative years in New Orleans through the rise of Chicago-style jazz in the 1920s.
