[ King Oliver's Original Creole Jazz Band ] 
This particular band was formed in Chicago and used all New Orleans musicians, except for Miss Lil Hardin, the pianist (and, later, Louis Armstrong's first wife), but Joe Oliver had bands early on in New Orleans. 

This band, called by some - the greatest of the traditional jazz groups-, consisted of: 
Joe "King" Oliver, Cornet 
Louis Armstrong, 2nd Cornet Louis attributed much of his style to the influence of Joe "King" Oliver. 
Johnny Dodds, Clarinet 
Honore Dutray, Trombone 
Baby Dodds, Drums 
Bill Johnson, Bass 
Lil Hardin, Piano 
 
In 1924, dissension, ripped the band apart. 
On his new opening (at Lincoln Gardens), fire gutted the place, and the King had to spend a few months as a sideman in Peyton's Symphonic Syncopaters. 

Louis Armstrong and his wife, Lil Hardin, formed their first Hot Five and Hot Seven recording groups. A little later, Lil was recording with a small Freddie Keppard Band.
