Jelly Roll Morton ~~~ Jelly Roll Morton and his Red Hot Peppers ~~~ Jelly-Roll Morton's Red Hot Peppers
The Red Hot Peppers were a jazz band from the 1920s featuring Jelly Roll Morton. He formed the Red Hot Peppers and made a series of classic records for Citor, who were just starting to get into the race records market and were looking for talent. The recordings he made in Chicago featured the best New Orleans sidemen including Baby Dodds, Kid Ory, and Barney Bigard. These recordings are considered some of the finest in the “hot style” of early jazz

that clarinetist Simeon really comes to life in this tune. flawless. that’s an extension of him

Great tune, great band. I especially like how, at one point right in the middle of the usual pattern of eighth notes, the entire band comes together for two whole-note chords--very slick! It makes you sort of look up and ask, what was *that*!

I love these guys, and this style of music. This is the jazz that i like, which is alot like Louis A played. Thanks so much for posting. I would like to find out more about the Red Hot Peppers.

Victor 20296, recorded 9/21/1926. His music and arrangements were one of a kind. What a blast !!

Great recording by jazz immortals. I especially like where the entire band comes together for two whole note chords at about 2:20. It's right in the middle of all rhose eighths and sixteenths and I'm like Wow!

WELL SAID "erwigfilms"; spot on. Another favourite for me of Jelly's is 'The Chant'. What wonderful melodies, cross-beats and counter rhythms. A brilliant musician, no doubt about it, and fortunate are we to have his compositions and performances still so alive today.
Carlos Romero
He was really a big musician!

Listening to this is as pretty as looking at a flower. Perfection. :)

I don't cut loose much, but when I hear this stuff, I can't help myself!

I had a great grandfather named Felix Arnold who used to work on the riverside docks in New Orleans in the 1920's and 1930's. I'm sure he probably saw Jelly Roll Morton play somewhere along the line.
