Re: Mule Face Blues - King Oliver’s Creole Jazz Band:1930

The Creole Jazz Band was long gone by 1930, this is King Oliver and his Orchestra. With three trumpets its interesting to try and work out who plays what. It is Dave Nelson leading the trumpet section in the first chorus, then I believe it is Oliver who takes the short verse, with Henry Allen playing a whole solo chorus and Oliver again in the coda.
