This is probably the oldest recording in my archives, made in the Gennet Studios, Richmond Indiana, on the 5th April 1923. Joe ("King") Oliver formed the Creole Jazz Band the previous year to play at the Lincoln Gardens, Chicago and, once established, he cabled his protege Louis Armstrong in New Orleans to join him. Louis did; and the rest is history!! The line-up of the Creole Jazz band included Joe Oliver; cor. Louis Armstrong; 2nd. cor. Honore Dutrey; tmb. Johnny Dodds; clt. Stump Evans; C.Mel. sax. Lil Harding/Armstrong; pno. Bill Johnson; bss. Johnny St.Cyr; bjo/guit. and Baby Dodds; dms.

Thankyou for this, MoleDFigg!
