Comment:

The godfather of jazz, both as composer and bandleader, began his half-century at the apex of popular music in Washington, D.C. before settling in New York in the mid-'20s. Here, his mastery of the "jungle" style ("East St. Louis Toodle-Oo") would lead to a residency at the famed Cotton Club, and on to global fame.
