Best Answer

Jelly Roll Morton is the self appointed father of jazz back around 1915. Of course this is a widely debated topic. There were so many musicians who influenced jazz it is very hard to name one specific person. Miles Davis summarized the history of jazz in four words: "Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker."
