The Red Hot Peppers were a jazz band from the 1920s led by Jelly Roll Morton. He formed the Red Hot Peppers and made a series of classic records for Victor, who were just starting to get into the race records marker and were looking for talent. The recordings he made in Chicago feature the best New Orleans sidemen including Baby Dodds, Kid Ory, and Barney Bigard. They are considered some of the finest recordings in the “hot style” of early jazz
