Lil Hardin Armstrong set up recording dates for what basically was Louis Armstrong's Hot Five/Seven ensemble with Columbia Records...only one problem, Louis was tethered to a contract with OKeh.

So, she tapped George Mitchell to replace Satch on cornet. More information on him here.

New Orleans Wanderers - Columbia 698 (1926)

From wikipedia...

The New Orleans Wanderers was the name under which Lil Hardin recorded with members of Louis Armstrong's Hot Five on a 1926 session for Columbia Records. Armstrong himself was unable to appear since he was under contract to Okeh, although he collaborated with Hardin on three of the four songs. His place was taken by George Mitchell. Four further songs were released by the same musicians under the name New Orleans Bootblacks.

King Oliver & His Dixie Syncopators - Brunswick 3998 (1927)

Excerpted from wikipedia...

The Great Depression brought hardship to Oliver. He lost his life savings to a collapsed bank in Chicago, and he struggled to keep his band together through a series of hand-to-mouth gigs until the group broke up and Oliver was stranded in Savannah, Georgia, where he worked as a janitor at Wimberly's Recreation Hall (526-528 West Broad Street). Oliver died in poverty at a rooming house (508 Montgomery Street), on April 10, 1938. He was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, NY, where he would be joined by other jazz giants such as Coleman Hawkins, Lionel Hampton, W. C. Handy, Milt Jackson, Max Roach, and Miles Davis, among others, all of whom owe a great debt to "Papa Joe."
