This chapter focuses on the problem of writing jazz history through an analysis of Alan Lomax’s biography of pianist Jelly Roll Morton. It frames the problem of the origins of jazz within broader issues in historiography, especially the relation between memory and the cultural imagination. In particular, the chapter explores what it means for jazz historians to focus on the everyday or ordinary aspects of musicians’ lives and consider how such an approach might refigure our understanding of their art.
