That may remain an unknown, Buddy Bolden was an early inovator with the coronet, and may deserve the title. Jazz existed and was routinely played and anjoyed in New Orleans before "Jelly Roll" Morton and Joe "King" Oliver who are also given credit for this American musical art form.

We may never know, since jazz (at one time spelled "jass") evolved slowly over time, a blend of various influences (blues, Afro-Cuban dance music, dixieland, ragtime, etc). In the late 1800s, jazz began to be heard in several different cities, one of which was New Orleans, where dixieland jazz was born; and another was Sedalia, Missouri, where Scott Joplin developed what came to be called "ragtime." Also important was Jelly Roll Morton (real name Ferdinand Joseph LaMothe)-- some sources say that Morton was one of the founding fathers of jazz. The first jazz phonograph recording was made in 1917, by the Original Dixieland Jass Band, but the music itself had been around for several decades before anyone made a record in that style.
