	Joe "King" Oliver - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Joe "King" Oliver was born in Abend, Louisiana near Donaldsonville, and moved to New Orleans in his youth.
		In the mid and late 1920s Oliver's band transformed into a hybrid of the old New Orleans style jazz band and the nationally popular larger dance band, and was christened "King Oliver and His Dixie Syncopators".
		The Great Depression was harsh to Oliver; he lost his life savings when a Chicago bank collapsed, as he struggled to keep his band together on a series of hand-to-mouth gigs until the band broke up and Oliver was stranded in Savannah, Georgia, where he worked as a janitor and died in poverty.

		Oliver is credited with many melodies on record labels and in copyright registrations; it is not known how many of these he actually composed.

		Oliver Cromwell as Lord Protector is frequently described as being a King in all but name without much in the way of a coherent, detailed explanation of precisely what this means.
		What is now demonstrated in his fascinating new work Oliver Cromwell King In All But Name 1653-1658 is the extent to which the Protector actually functioned as a sovereign prince and the degree to which he was recognized as such both by his own countrymen and foreign observers.
		The progressive restoration of regal institutions and practices, Cromwell's assumption of the prerogatives of a King, and the rising tide of royal pomp and pageantry are traced.

	JOE KING OLIVER
		In the end, the designation of "king," which Bolden had long assumed, became Oliver's -- particularly after one memorable night in Storyville.
		On that occasion, Oliver walked up and down Iberville Street playing on his trumpet the most varied and fanciful improvisations and defiantly pointing the mouth of his trumpet toward the cabarets and honky-tonks where such Freddie Keppard, trumpet, and Emanuel Perez, cornet, held sway.
		Oliver was the benefactor of young Louis Armstrong, and much that young Armstrong learned about playing the trumpet in his apprentice years in New Orleans was learned from Oliver.

	King Oliver
		Between 1923 and 1930, King Oliver recorded frequently under his own name, eventually hitting every major label of the time.
		He'd become a fairly big star and respected name in jazz, but already Oliver was past his prime and slipping away from the cutting edge.
		Strangely, and maybe tellingly, Oliver responded the next year by releasing a soundalike cover version of Armstrong's, although Joe didn't play on the record himself: the Louis-created trumpet parts were recreated (under Oliver's "direction") by another ex-Ellingtonian, Louis Metcalf.
