Jelly Roll Morton’s impact on the Harlem Renaissance was his innovation of a new style of jazz.

He infused many Africa musical styles into his songs such as, blues and ragtime, along with Caribbean, Hispanic, and popular white music. Morton’s music is truly a mixture of cultures, making each song blissfully well rounded and ingenious. ]]> 2019-02-27 17:27:50 UTC https://padlet.com/dwebb20/rrdnzqvi03j1/wish/336027175
