"Red hot songs from the Jazz Age"
Ray Kamalay & His Red Hot Peppers play classic and obscure songs from the Jazz Age, along with originals in the same vein. Kamalay is a guitarist, a Detroit native who became entranced with classic jazz when he heard it in a pub in the Shetland Islands in the 1970s. Back in Michigan, he delved into the music of Django Reinhardt, the king of gypsy swing, and joined forces with some of the top jazz musicians in the Midwest. The result is an evening of extremely infectious music that shows what a golden age of songwriting the jazz era was. "They come out swinging at the bell and don't stop," says Hazen Schumacher of NPR's Jazz Revisited.
