King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band Records 'Dippermouth Blues' with Louis Armstrong

On April 6, 1923, King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band—including 21-year-old Louis Armstrong on second cornet—recorded 'Dippermouth Blues' and 'Canal Street Blues' at Gennett Records in Richmond, Indiana. The two-day session produced 37 sides and is among the most significant documents in jazz history, demonstrating New Orleans ensemble style at its peak and capturing Armstrong before his solo genius fully emerged.
