When it appeared in 1950, this biography of Ferdinand “Jelly Roll” Morton became an instant classic of jazz literature. Now back in print and updated with a new afterword by Lawrence Gushee, Mister Jelly Roll will enchant a new generation of readers with the fascinating story of one of the world’s most influential composers of jazz. Jelly Roll’s voice spins out his life in something close to song, each sentence rich with the sound and atmosphere of the period in which Morton, and jazz, exploded on the American and international scene. This edition includes scores of Jelly Roll’s own arrangements, a discography and an updated bibliography, a chronology of his compositions, a new genealogical tree of Jelly Roll’s forebears, and Alan Lomax’s preface from the hard-to-find 1993 edition of this classic work. Lawrence Gushee’s afterword provides new factual information and reasserts the importance of this work of African American biography to the study of jazz and American culture.
