I'm still looking for more opinions or information. I think Brian Rust
credits King Oliver as the cornet player on Jet Black Blues by Blind Willie
Dunn's Gin Bottle Four recorded for Okeh in April 1929. I believe the cornet
player is Tommy Dorsey. You can hear the recording here:

For a recording of Tommy Dorsey playing cornet, check out Tiger Rag here:

What do you think?? King Oliver or Tommy Dorsey??
