Creole jazz pianist and composer Jelly Roll Morton developed his New Orleans style of piano in the early 20th century, playing in Southern honky-tonks, barrelhouses, and gambling joints. Diverging from the more composed form of ragtime that was then popular, Morton incorporated elements of New Orleans brass-band music and early Dixieland jazz, as well as the spontaneity of improvised jazz. Morton is heard here in a 1927 recording of his composition “Hyena Stomp.”
