Best Answer

there was no confirmed first player but John Adams was one of the first
W.C. Handy and "Jelly Roll" Morton were two of the first well-known jazz composers. "Buddy" Bolden was one of the first jazz Trumpet players. However, the creators of jazz are still unknown today, mostly because they were undocumented enslaved peoples and were considered inferior by racist white peoples.
