of jazz. During the 1920s, coronetist Buddy Bolden might have been
the man who invented jazz, but it was pianist Jelly Roll Morton who
claimed that mantle when he became the first man to write the new
form down. Other jazz pioneers featured include clarinet prodigy
Sidney Bechet, trumpet player Freddie Keppard, and 1920s talents
Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Bix Beiderbecke, Benny Goodman and
