Jelly Roll Morton's Red Hot Peppers, 1926

Red Hot Peppers was a recording jazz band led by Jelly Roll Morton from 1926-1930. It was a 7 or 8 piece band formed in Chicago that recorded for Victor and featured the best New Orleans-style freelance musicians available, including cornetist George Mitchell, trombonist Kid Ory, clarinetists Omer Simeon and Johnny Dodds, banjoists Johnny St. Cyr and Bud Scott, double bass player John Lindsay, and drummers Andrew Hilaire and Baby Dodds. Morton's skills as a composer and arranger are apparent in the structure of the pieces, which combines clarity with variety and manages to maintain a balance between ensemble and solo playing while allowing for a substantial solo from every band member. The quality of the recordings is further enhanced by the band's decision to rehearse, which were uncommon in early jazz performances. The masterful blend of composition and improvisation demonstrated by Morton and his colleagues set a precedent for early jazz.
