Jelly Roll Morton (1890-1941) is a musical icon and the self-proclaimed originator of jazz. He started playing piano in the "sporting houses" of New Orleans when he was still a teenager. He went on to become one of the most acclaimed pianists and composers in jazz.
Morton's wanderlust led him around the continent and from 1919 to 1921 he settled in Vancouver, at the Patricia Hotel, where he played piano in the Patricia Cafe. His stay in Vancouver coincides with a long lost golden age of entertainment centred on the Hastings Street strip.
A stellar cast of musicians will perform Jelly Roll Morton's own compositions plus music that is inspired by the story of one of the most colourful personalities in jazz. The concert takes place in the very room where the legendary Jelly Roll Morton once entertained Vancouver audiences all those many years ago.
