Description: 

This was a great project for Bob Wilber. Recreation of the historic King Oliver Creole Band that made Louis Armstrong a star. Another very interesting detail was my older brother Bob, who did this project with me. I always looked up to him as a trumpet player and artist (in a similar fashion to how Louie looked up to the older King Oliver). On this album Bob played all King Oliver’s parts, I played Louie’s. But both Bob and I played our own solos, in the style of King Oliver and Louie. This is truly a great jazz! – Glenn Zottola
