STAGE AND SCREEN

Just what is a jelly roll, and why are blues singers so keen on it?

Mark Turner, Bilbao, Spain

  • 'Jelly Roll' Morton was a nickname. A jelly roll is indeed a US name for what we'd call a swiss roll. This particular artiste's masculine organ was legendarily massive, so resembling, in size at least, the aforementioned cheap confectionery.
