		Morton was certainly busy that first year in Chicago; he recorded more than thirty sides in that single year, including solo piano works and duets with King Oliver, as well as trios with Oliver and clarinetist Volly de Faut.
		Morton's arrival changed all that, of course, and by the end of 1923, Walter was able to move the music publishing business to downtown Chicago, while his brother, Lester, continued to run the music store with a new partner.
		Morton was unhappy that Melrose changed the title of his "The Wolverines" to "Wolverine Blues", particularly since the song is in no way a blues number, but the incident passed.

		Morton was seen as a throwback to another era, and an unsavory one at that.
		As the 1930s moved along and Morton began to complain, quite rightfully, that he had been robbed by an unscrupulous music publisher and discriminated against by the very organization that was set up to be sure artists were paid royalties, these musicians discounted his complaints as just another boast from a loudmouth carny.
		It was a small club that Jelly tried to promote and manage, though the owner, a woman by the name of Cordelia Rice Lyle, had little interest in making it more than a hangout for her friends, one of whom managed to stab Jelly during an altercation.

		Ferdinand Joseph "Jelly Roll" Morton is generally acknowledged as the first jazz composer.

		Thus in local parlance the Morton house is on the downtown river corner of Frenchmen and North Robertson.
		Note: Jelly Roll was the first to tell of the Storyville professors in the first decade of the 20th century, and his spoken dialogue on the Library of Congress recordings spins out a fascinating story of the accomplishments of these fine, yet obscure musicians.
		According to Jelly Roll, Tony Jackson was "the world's greatest single-handed entertainer," and Albert Carroll played with "a perfect perfection of passing tones and strange harmonies." Alas, both these performers were never to record, and left no permanent legacy of their outstanding abilities.

	CD Baby: RICHARD TRYTHALL: Jelly Roll Morton Piano Music
		Jelly Roll Morton (born Ferdinand Lemott), was a classically trained pianist who played music in New Orleans brothels at the age of 16.
		For years he has dedicated himself to the study of music by Jelly Roll Morton, the incomparable pianist, the musician who, at the beginning of the 20th century, so clearly delineated the rules of jazz that he could claim to have invented jazz himself.
		The result is remarkable: it brings alive the unbridled virtuosity of Jelly Roll Morton, the nuances of his performance, the wealth of his expression as performed on a modern, scintillating piano which bursts forth from the recording energetically.

	Jazz/Jerry Jazz Musician/Jelly Roll Morton biographer Phil Pastras interview
		When Ferdinand "Jelly Roll" Morton sat at the piano in the Library of Congress in May of 1938 to begin his monumental series of interviews with Alan Lomax, he spoke of his years on the West Coast with the nostalgia of a man recalling a golden age, a lost Eden.
		Jelly Roll, and you see his comment concerning "originating jazz," it really has to do with his claim that he recognized there was a distinct genre emerging and he wanted to give it a name to distinguish it from ragtime and blues and other forms of music.
		I can just imagine Jelly Roll, had he lived another six or seven years, would have been on call constantly for the New Orleans revival thing and would have probably been unable to turn it down because he needed the money and it could have helped his career.

		In the English creole of the Caribbean, "jelly" refers to the meat of the coconut when it is still at a white, viscous stage, and in a form closely resembling semen.
		On the street, jelly roll had many associated meanings, from the respectable 'lover, or spouse', to the Harlem slang of the 1930s, 'a term for the vagina'.
		So a lover admired his 'jelly bean' and the way she could 'jello' and prided himself on being a 'good jelly-roll baker.' But the baker made not only jelly roll but also other foods.
