His family fled the Nazis when he was young. He became known for "older jazz" like swing and Dixieland. He played with Lionel Hampton, Joe Zawinul, and others. In 1996 he was honored by then President Thomas Klestil.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_KleinFerdinand "Jelly Roll" Morton (September 20, 1885 or October 20, 1890 -- July 10, 1941) was an American jazz pianist, bandleader and composer whom some call the first true composer of jazz music. Morton was a colorful character who liked to generate publicity for himself by bragging. His business card referred to him as the Originator of Jazz, and during his life he was regarded as a source of rare historical information, despite his penchant for hyperbole.Two Broadway shows have featured his music, Jelly Roll and Jelly's Last Jam. The first draws heavily on Morton's own words and stories from the Library of Congress interviews.Jelly Roll Morton is featured in Alessandro Baricco's book, Novecento. He is the "inventor of jazz" and the protagonist's rival throughout the book. This book was later turned into a movie: Giuseppe Tornatore's The Legend of 1900. His character is played by actor Clarence Williams III. In this movie, he is depicted as an ill-tempered and insolent prodigy in a piano competition against the film's main protagonist. He performed The Crave and Big Foot Ham against the protagonist.Jelly Roll Morton is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jelly_Roll_Morton
