NOTE: Probably Oliver's greatest recording enigma, this session's roster has always appeared as unknown, except for Oliver himself. Data given by Fred Skerritt and Clyde Bernhardt appear above (Bernhardt, incidentally, was supposed to be on the date but missed it). Sources and details (which are in agreement except for the identity of the pianist, whom Skerritt did not remember) are from King Oliver, by Laurie Wright.

NOTE: On the original recording sheet, JOE OLIVER AND HIS ORCHESTRA has been crossed out and BINGIE MADISON AND HIS BROADWAY DANCE ORCHESTRA written in; a later corrected sheet credits CHOCOLATE DANDIES.
IN HARLEM'S ARABY, a non-Oliver item actually by the Memphis Jazzers, q.v., was issued on Biltmore 1024
as KING OLIVER AND HIS DIXIE DEVILS; and on Jazz Collector L-59 and Tempo R-27 as KING OLIVER'S
MEMPHIS JAZZERS. Two other titles by the same band, MISS GOLDEN BROWN and EVERYBODY DANCE, were similarly credited on Tempo R-10. VJR 25 is credited to KING OLIVER AND CLARENCE WILLIAMS' BOYS, and Creole 6 to KING OLIVER WITH CLARENCE WILLIAMS' JUG BAND. See Clarence Williams for correct details of both these issues.
