In the early 1930's, America was blessed with a heyday of small-band jazz, the likes of which it has not seen since. In ballrooms across North America, hot jazz, laced with exciting improvisation, and ballads, melancholy and blue, told stories of joy and tragedy, and provided rhythm for the feet of dancers of the two-step, the Lindy and the Swing, Ray Kamalay and his Red Hot Peppers are reminiscent of this peculiar era. With some of the finest players in the United States, they play this music with all its excitement and sentiment. They have wowed audiences at some of the very finest venues, including Interlochen, Edinburgh and the Philadelphia Folk Festival.
