Hot Record Society was an American jazz record label, founded by Steve Smith in 1937, dedicated to reissuing out-of-print early Dixieland or traditional jazz, also referred to as “hot jazz.” The HRS original advisory board included John Hammond, Marshall Stearns, Charles Edward Smith, Wilder Hobson, Bill Russell, Charles Delaunay, Hugues Panassié, and Sinclair Traill. In addition to re-issuing records, HRS released new recordings of jazz on its own label until 1947. HRS also sold both new and used records in its mid-town Manhattan shop beginning in 1939.
