Never heard of using a roux in Jambalaya?

I don't but I've heard of it. I've heard some people call the trinity smothered down in oil a roux too,. Maybe thats what he as refering too?

I see no need for a roux (oil and flour) or a can of cream of mushroom soup to make a proper jambalaya. Jambalaya has been being made longe before mushroom soup was put into a can.
