It was fascinating to get a look at New Orleans in the beginning of Jazz through the eyes of a standout amongst the most popular and regarded…

like Jimmie Noone, Joe Oliver, Mutt Carey, and many others. The outcome of this is the rise of Joe ‘King’ Oliver. However, Oliver decided to move to Chicago to grow his career. As a result, Ory hired Oliver’s student Louis Armstrong, buying him a cornet and starting Armstrong’s career.

Oliver asked Ory to join his band playing at the…
