| 1941 - Jelly Roll Morton (Ferdinand Joseph le Menthe), the self proclaimed 'Originator of Jazz' Died on this day. He was born in New Orleans of Black Creole descent, and began his career as a 'Piano Professor' in the brothels of Storyville, where he gained a reputation as a hustler, who liked fancy clothes and fast women. He left New Orleans and began an astounding recording career, which included such famous compositions as 'Jelly Roll Blues', King Porter Stomp', 'The Pearls' and 'Mint Julep'. In the late 1920's he recorded with his legendary band 'The Red Hot Peppers'. In the period around 1939, the New Orleans sound was becoming popular again and Morton began recording and writing with Sidney Bechet, Red Allen and Zutty Singleton amongst others. These efforts produced such legendary hits as 'I Thought I Heard Buddy Bolden Say' and 'Mamies Blues'. In testiment to his place in jazz history, his pall bearers were Kid Ory, Papa Mutt Carey and Fred Washington. |
