He was the first important composer and arranger of New Orleans jazz, and a major influence on the genre. His work blended genres and pioneered the use of prearranged, semiorchestrated effects in jazz-band performances. Morton was also a compelling singer and one of the early jazz world's most flamboyant characters.
