Well, Ken Burns is a documentary filmmaker, so he shouldn’t even be on the list lol.

Louis Armstrong played trumpet and sang. One of his big hits was “Jeepers Creepers”, because legend had it that he couldn’t remember the words of his songs and made up new ones.

All I can say about Duke is that early Duke to me sounds “modern”. No one had harmonies like Duke. Check out an old recording [and I do mean the oldest you can find] of his group playing “Caravan”. It sounds like it’s from a different planet or something. Not by today’s standards, maybe, but for the time. His chord voicings [which instruments play which notes] were unique and gave his group a distinctive sound. Duke played piano, so there might be a piano poking in and out. Be careful though. If you have Artie Shaw and Glenn Miller on your list, they also have a pianist in their group, although neither group used a piano as consistently as Duke’s band.

Ella Fitzgerald is the only woman. lol. But Billie Holiday might appear too. Holiday is generally rougher in sound than Ella, who tends to be smoother.

Benny Goodman can be tricky, because, while he played clarinet, so did one of the Dorsey brothers and Artie Shaw. I think that Goodman rarely took large amounts of solo time while playing with the group. Check out his group playing “Sing Sing Sing”. The trumpeter et a big solo, before Goodman even takes his extended one. Shaw pieces tend to heavily feature Shaw on his clarinet. Compare Shaw’s “Begin the Beguine” and “Concerto for Clarinet” to Goodman’s “Sing Sing Sing”.

You might be able to “cheat” a little… your teacher might give you easy pieces, such as famous pieces or ones that are obviously one artist or another [such as Armstrong's voice and trumpet]. If you have a listening list, make yourself a CD. Record yourself saying the artist info and then put each recording before each track. Believe me, it helps. If I can learn to identify different Gregorian chants by this method, it should make learning a few jazz song a breeze.
