Jelly Roll Morton & the New Orleans Style

jazz talks nycJelly Roll Morton, the self-proclaimed “inventor of jazz,” was an exceptionally gifted composer and pianist, and most notable as one of jazz’s first composer/arrangers. Nowhere is this better realized than in the series of classic recordings he made between 1926 and 1928 with his studio band, the Red Hot Peppers, which have gone down in jazz history as the recorded high point of the New Orleans Style. Louis Rosen focuses on these landmark recordings in the context of the evolution of jazz in the early years of the 20th century.
