The reference seems to be to Ferdinand LaMothe, more popularly known as Ferdinand "Jelly Roll" Morton, arguably the first great jazz pianist, who got his start playing piano in the brothels of Storyville - the prostitution district of New Orleans.

Van is talking about Jelly Roll Morton. He was a ragtime pianist and a bandleader. Isn't that a great song? If you like Van you should check out The Band's movie 'The Last Waltz'...he does an incredible version of 'Caravan'

Yep - the words are capitalized - proper nouns - a name "Jelly Roll" is Mr. Morton himself and Van has great taste!

I first heard this term in a song on the "Love Jones" soundtrack- good song, too- and I figured, considering the scenes where it was used, it's got something to do with sex. Cute!
