A virtuoso pianist with a larger-than-life personality, he composed such influential early jazz pieces as \"King Porter Stomp\" and \"New Orleans Blues.\" However, by the late 1930s, he was nearly forgotten. In 1992, the death of an eccentric memorabilia collector led to the unearthing of a startling archive, revealing Morton to be a much more complex and passionate man than many realized. An especially immediate and visceral look into the jazz worlds of New Orleans and Chicago, Jelly's Blues is a definitive biography, a long overdue look at one of the twentieth century's most important composers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHoward Reich\u003c\/b\u003e is the veteran jazz critic of the \u003ci\u003eChicago Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e and the winner of many awards.
