A lively name from the early jazz era, this credit belongs to a recording group best known today through the 1920 piece Dixieland. The surviving record is less a personal authorship story than a glimpse of America’s dance-band and jazz boom.
Lopez and Hamilton's Kings of Harmony appears in the historical record as the credited creator of Dixieland, a short work preserved by Project Gutenberg and the Internet Archive. Those sources treat the name as a performing or recording credit rather than as a clearly documented individual author, so there is very little confirmed biographical detail to tell in the usual modern sense.
Archive material linked to the name places the group in the world of early 1920s popular music and jazz-era recording. Other surviving disc listings under the same credit include titles such as “Bo-La-Bo,” “Patches,” and “Peggy,” which helps place Dixieland alongside the dance-band repertoire of its time.
Because reliable source material is sparse, it is safest to think of Lopez and Hamilton's Kings of Harmony as a historical orchestra or studio ensemble credit associated with early jazz and dance recordings, not as a single well-documented author with a full published life story.
