Framed Print of Jelly Roll Morton, American Jazz Musician
Ferdinand Joseph LaMothe (October 20, 1890 - July 10, 1941) was an American ragtime and early jazz pianist, bandleader and composer. He took the nickname, Jelly Roll, which was black slang for female genitalia. In 1915 his "Jelly Roll Blues" was arguably the first jazz composition ever published. In 1926, he got a contract to record for the largest and most prestigious company in the United States, Victor. These recordings by Jelly Roll Morton and His Red Hot Peppers are regarded as classics of 1920s jazz. His compositions were recorded by the musicians Fletcher Henderson, Benny Goodman and others, but he received no royalties. © New York Public Library / Science Source
