Joe "King" Oliver (Dec.19,1885 - April 10,1938)
was a jazz cornet player and bandleader. He was particularly noted for his playing style, pioneering the use of mutes. Also a notable composer, he wrote many tunes still played regularly.
He was the mentor and teacher of Louis Armstrong. Two of Armstrong's most famous recordings, "West End Blues" and "Weather Bird", were Oliver compositions. His influence was such that Armstrong claimed, "if it had not been for Joe Oliver, Jazz would not be what it is today"
King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band was one of the best and most important bands in early Jazz. The Creole Jazz Band was made up of the cream of New Orleans Hot Jazz musicians.

Hey, edmundusrex ! No Oliver, no Bessie Smith ! Where do you caught that?!

@BobE1945 What Oliver's version????
-
Grouchy2day is dead right - that is most definitely teh Louis Armstrong Hot 5 from 1926. Be nice to hear Joe Oliver's version though.

Louis was only 25, 26 years old at this time and was already pouring forth with a limitless musical imagination which still enthralls to this day.
By way of rough analogy, he burst on the scene back in the late 'teens, early 1920s in a magnitude similar to the more recent impact of The Beatles on rock and roll, Bob Marley on reggae, Dizzy Gillespie on jazz and Stravinsky on classical music. Who was it who said that those groups affected their own genres while Louis affected them all...

Lil was Louis's wife at that time!

Guys, this is Louis Armstrong's Hot Five from 1926. May Alix is the female vocalist. Personnel: Louis Armstrong (cornet & vocal), Johnny Dodds (clarinet), Kid Ory (trombone), Lil Armstrong (piano), Johnny St. Cyr (banjo). The band also recorded Sunset Cafe Stomp at this session. Again with the vocal by May Alix. This is not Joe Oliver's record date.

This is DEFINITELY not King Oliver and his Creole Jazz Band-it is the Hot Five of LA!
