Well, composision is more dixieland than jazz, I don't think so that is more than 6 - 9 musician, I can hear bas, trombone, drums, banjo, trumpet ...

New Orlean's jezz style is like I said, something between jazz and dixieland, you can hear it still today playing by streets musicians.

Joe King Oliver was mentor to Louis Armstrong, and Oliver altering his horn's sound.

Honore Dutrey, trombone; Baby Dodds, drums; Joe "King" Oliver, cornet; Bill Johnson, banjo; Johnny Dodds, clarinet; (front) Louis Armstrong, slide trumpet (his main instrument, the trumpet, lies beside him on the floor); and Lil Hardin on piano. We hear the band play "Dippermouth Blues" on CD 3, track 21.
