How Jelly Roll Morton Invented Jazz
$16.99
In this unusual, inventive, and perfectly pitched picture book that riffs on the language and rhythms of old New Orleans, noted picture-book biographer Jonah Winter (Dizzy, Frida, You Never Heard of Sandy Koufax?) turns his focus to Jelly Roll Morton, one of America's early jazz heroes.
Gorgeously illustrated by fine artist Keith Mallett, a newcomer to picture books, this biography will transport readers young and old to the musical, magical streets of New Orleans at the turn of the twentieth century.
