Description

Ferdinand Joseph LaMothe, professionally known asJelly Roll Morton, was an American ragtime and early jazz pianist, bandleader and composer who started his career in New Orleans, Louisiana. Widely recognised as a pivotal figure in early jazz, Morton is perhaps most notable as jazz's first arranger, proving that a genre rooted in improvisation could retain its essential spirit and characteristics when notated. His composition Jelly Roll Blues was the first published jazz composition in 1915.

“All cleverly arranged and beautifully played, with excellent sonics.”
