(born Jan. 7, 1917, Tucson, Ariz., U.S. — died May 20, 1995, Englewood, N.J.) U.S. composer. A nephew of jazz cornetist King Oliver, he was an all-around musician from childhood. After graduating from the University of Arizona he went on to study at the Eastman School and with the composer Paul Hindemith at Yale.
