Book Reviews of Jelly's Blues: The Life, Music, and Redemption of Jelly Roll Morton
Book Review: Jazz Genius
Summary: 5 Stars
Jelly Roll Morton has gotten a "bad rap" through the years. After protesting loudly and justifiably about the terrible financial deals he was tricked into, seeing songs he had written stolen from him, he was dismissed as being a loud mouth complainer. He made some bad choices in his life, but he left a legacy of music we all still benefit from. The way he, and other black musicians, were virtually shut out of ASCAAP was wrong. You will wind up appreciating him, and cringing about the way he was mistreated.
