At the birth of jazz in the early 20th century, one man led the band. The legendary Jelly Roll Morton revolutionized American music like no one before him. His life—the dizzying heights and inconceivable lows—becomes a thrilling theatrical ride in Jelly’s Last Jam. With an electrifying cast and a red-hot band, and enough music and tap dancing to fill several lifetimes, this concert reading will celebrate New Haven’s history of jazz in the iconic Dixwell neighborhood in partnership with New Haven Free Public Library.
