*[ Jelly Roll Morton - YouTube Ad Break Version ]*
Legendary bandleader, pianist, and composer at heart, Ferdinand LaMothe (known as “Jelly Roll Morton”) is perhaps the most influential figure of early Jazz to date. Though not the “inventor” of Jazz as he often parades, LaMothe became the first to intellectualize its form on paper.
Originally a guitarist before moving to the keys, LaMothe absorbed music from the scene of it all: New Orleans, Louisiana. Featuring the likes of Creoles, Latinos (erroneously lumped together as “Spanish” at the time), Europeans and more, the city’s night life flourished with a wide variety of musical languages, many of which blended to create unique tonalities.
In the case of Jazz, New Orleans was it’s birthplace with Storyville (red-light district) as the mother. As with many of his contemporaries growing up, the infamous district was irresistible to young LaMothe. Not so much for the sporting activities, but more so for the music within. Sneaking off to play small gigs at brothels, LaMothe began using the name “Jelly Roll,” which is slang for female genitalia. Considering his use of bawdy lyrics with the obscene environments performed in, LaMothe soon insisted to be “Jelly Roll Morton,” protecting his family name from disgrace. (“Morton” being the anglicization of “Mouton,” his step-father’s surname.)
Apart from his time at the piano, Morton also gained early experience in performance & ensemble work, having traveled the South & Midwest on a minstrel show. While on the road, key friendships had developed between Morton & his fellow stars, providing much influence in his future demeanor as an itinerant pianist. Notable names include Tony J. Jackson, Spencer Williams, Porter King, and Benson "Froggie" Moore.
By the mid-1910s, Morton was just that, traveling from town to town while discovering more about who he really was. Arrogant, flamboyant, and perhaps insecure, Morton learned the traits of successful pimps, pool sharks, and card sharps, taking advantage of the night life wherever he went. A devout Catholic however who further believed the practices of Voodoo, various contradictions to Morton’s character would arise, often providing challenges to his self perception.
Yet just as the notorious side of his reputation spread, so did his role as a skilled jazz & blues pianist. Upon travels to Chicago by 1915, Morton made his first major debut as a serious composer of such with The [Original] Jelly Roll Blues, published by Will Rossiter that year. Regarded as the first published Jazz composition, the song became a major hit, solidifying the name “Jelly Roll Morton” in the world of Jazz for good. Developing his style even further with time spent on the West Coast, Morton began implementing the “Spanish Tinge” deeper into his music, as reflected in his work “Mamanita” & “Tia Juana.” A crucial element he held with high regard, it remained a part of his music for the remainder of his career.
Taking the time to build a hefty résumé through the creation of various bands & orchestras, Morton made a return to Chicago in 1923 in order to expand his music further. Having only a few works in print in effort to keep his “Jelly Roll Style” from emulation, Morton sought out record labels willing to take on his music.
