@Kevsgirl234 Let me correct : Ferdinand Joseph Lamenthe, he came from a French speaking family in New Orleans.
Read his biography written by Alan Lomax ("Jelly Roll Morton"), if you haven't. Unfortunately, somebody stole the only diamond left (in his tooth) he had when he died...

@Academic1Researcher Cool! I assume you like music as much as I do :) Sorry it took me so long to respond I have not checked my youtube mail in forever :)
Fun Facts - his business card read "originator of jazz-stomp-swing." He also had a diamond stud in his front tooth. Other jobs - gambler, pool shark, & comedian. Real name - Ferdinand Joseph Lamothe 1890-1941
