  Sy Oliver - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Melvin "Sy" Oliver (born December 17, 1910 in Battle Creek, Michigan — died May 28, 1988 in New York City) was a jazz arranger, trumpeter, composer, singer and bandleader.
His mother was a piano teacher and his father was a multi-instrumentalist who made a name for himself demonstrating saxophones at a time that instrument was little used outside of marching bands.
Oliver left home at 17 to play with Zack White and his Chocolate Beau Brummels and later with Alphonse Trent.

As late as 1975-1980, he was regularly leading a band but Sy Oliver will always be best known for his classic Lunceford charts.

 Big Band Music Biography - Jimmie Lunceford
While Wilcox and Smith both contributed early arrangements, it was the addition of ace arranger and trumpet man Sy Oliver that gave the Lunceford band its distinguished two-beat sound.
Oliver and Smith, Joe Thomas and later Trummy Young all sang with the band often in trio unison.
Although his orchestra-leading career nowhere near paralleled in longevity that of Basie or Ellington, for a time from 1935 until Sy Oliver left his band to work for Tommy Dorsey in 1939, the Lunceford band was one of the most popular in the land.

 Sy Oliver - 1945-1949 | internet radio on icebergradio.com
Sy Oliver's main contributions to jazz history were his arrangements in the 1930s for Jimmie Lunceford and during the first half of the '40s for Tommy Dorsey.
In 1947, he had a big band that recorded four sessions for MGM but quickly flopped, lacking its own musical personality and being born at a time when big bands were breaking up.
Oliver sings "Seventh Avenue" on a V-Disc from 1945, leads his big band on all 16 of its recordings from 1947, and heads a couple studio bands for sessions in 1949.

 Sinatra's Columbia Years: Men Behind the Man
Sy Oliver (1910-1988) had proved just as important to the earliest stage of Sinatra's career as Axel Stordahl.
By 1942, Oliver had long since established himself as one of the major masterminds of the entire swing era via his work for Jimmie Lunceford (he all but created that band's immortal two-beat, baritone sax-based sound) and Tommy Dorsey.
Conniff had already ceased playing trombone by this point, and was on the eve of christening the long and highly successful series of orchestra-and-chorus LPs for Columbia that would make him a household name.

 Sy Oliver - 1945-1949 | The Mix
Overall, Oliver has vocals on ten of the 23 numbers and also features singers Henry Wells, Tommy Roberts, Joe Bailey, Bobby Marshall, Charles Mccormick, and The Aristokats.
Although some of the sidemen are well-known swing veterans, in general they are confined to ensembles, with only a few of the tunes being worthwhile instrumentals.
The music is enjoyable enough but one can easily understand why The Sy Oliver Orchestra never caught on.

(b Melvin James Oliver, 17 Dec. '10, Battle Creek MI; d 28 May '88) Trumpeter, vocalist, composer, arranger.
Worked with Jimmie Lunceford '33--9 and was largely responsible for that popular band's style, combining its sheer ability to play with a two-beat emphasis that dancers loved at a time when most swing bands were playing 4/4: humour and style made it unique.
'Organ Grinder's Swing' was a silly tune which made a classic record because of its superb arrangement; Oliver contributed vocals on 'My Blue Heaven', 'Tain't Whatcha Do' and 'Ain't She Sweet'; other hits incl.
