	Leon Roppolo
		Leon Roppolo was considered a genius by his contemporaries and like Bix Beiderbecke and Buddy Bolden he was another of the tragic young men of early Jazz.
		He is remembered as being a pioneer of the jazz solo, as opposed to the collective improvisation of most New Orleans bands and for his lyrical and modern clarinet and alto saxophone playing.
		He was released briefly in the early 1940s and played a few gigs in New Orleans before going back to the institution where he died in 1943.
