I'd like to start out with a piece written by Jelly Roll Morton.
It feels weird to stand in [A] a church and look [Ab] at the paintings on the walls and talk about Jelly Roll [Db] Morton.
His nickname did not come from a cake.
He was [Eb] a pianist in the brothels around New Orleans [Db]
and developed a very unique style of playing ragtime.
[E] He claimed to be one of the first [Ab] jazz pianists.
I've heard that he said at one point that he [N] invented jazz on a Sunday morning in 1904.
Whether you buy that or not, he certainly had quite [Gb] an influence on development in jazz.
To start [G] out the program today, [Gb] I'd like to play you one.
Again, it's in front of a church.
Don't think about this too much.
It's called Big Fat Ham.
