Kansas City Stomps – Jelly Roll Morton and his Red Hot Peppers
One of Jelly’s traditional numbers played in the New Orleans style, according to Jelly it was nothing to do with Kansas City but named after the Kansas City Saloon in Tijuana Mexico. This band was well rehearsed and disciplined, Jelly was a disciplinarian and would take a whole day to record one tune in those days, however, the musicians were allowed the freedom to express their own personalities, – (as long as they played what Jelly told them to play!) Recorded in Chicago in 1926 this music was ahead of its time. The band included Baby Dodds, dms, Omer Simeon clt.
