I can't find the King Oliver recording that you mentioned on YouTube, but here are links to four other King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band recordings (with photo slides) :

High Society - King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band 1923

"In the second recording session of the "Jazz King" of Chicago Joe Oliver and his Creole Jazz Band recorded in Chicago as well. This was done on June 24 1923.
In this famous band we hear Joe Oliver and Louis Armstrong on cornets, Johnny Dodds on Clarinet, Lil Hardin on piano, Bud Scott on banjo and Baby Dodds on drums".

Mabel's Dream -- King Oliver's Jazz Band 1923

"This a track from the famous Oliver/Armstrong recordings. The band plays Mabel's Dream. A famous movie star in those years was Mabel Normand.
Could this composition and it's name have had anything to do with her popularity? Maybe, or maybe not. Who is there still to ask?" ...

Snag It -King Oliver

"Here is another classic from my archives. I had forgotten that I had it, and only found it today when searching for something else!...

It is far from perfect, but what can one expect when it was recorded 86 years ago and has been re-copied at least twice in my disorganised archive?"

KING OLIVER

No title other than King Oliver's name was given for the 9:22 minute YouTube sound recording of several songs. Also, no summary statement was provided by the poster and there are no photos except for a cover shot of the record album with the words "King Oliver-Frankie and Johnny 1929-1930". I'm assuming that the music that is featured in this YouTube sound video are from that album.
