BTW, I'm curious about other nobility tag names or nobility titles that were conferred on jazz musicians.

I know about "King Oliver", but don't know if he chose that name or other people gave it to him because of his musical stature.

And I read somewhere that Nat "King" Cole was given his nickname from a drunken patron who joked about the Mother Goose rhyme "Old King Cole/was a merry ole soul". Is that true?

What other jazz musicians had king tag names, nicknames, or titles?

Off the top of my head I can think of one-Duke Ellington.

So how did Edward Kennedy Ellington become "Duke Ellington"?
