His obituaries in the Chicago Defender and Sun-Times gave away the correct information his death certificate in the files of the Chicago Federation of Musicians confirms it.) He moved to Chicago with his family at a young age. (Kolax used to claim 1918 as his year of birth. He was born in Kansas City, Missouri on November 6, 1912.

We can confirm that the session took place in Los Angeles, in February 1947, and that John Coltrane (then playing first alto saxophone in a 17-piece Kolax band) received composer credit for "True Loving Blues." Mysteries remain for instance, the one copy of "True Loving Blues" that we have seen has a blank label on its flip side. A copy of the first release from this session finally showed up at an auction and is now in the collection of Robert L. We have learned of a second release on Ace from King Kolax's only big band recording session. We have pinned down the release date for Duke 172 by Brooks and Brown (to May 1957). We strongly recommend David Sherr's updated reminiscences, "Stories from the Road" at, which include his encounter with King Kolax. We've confirmed that Stepheny 1821 was released in March 1958, while it turns out Stepheny 1814 was released in October 1957. We've once again updated our coverage of Stepheny 1814 (a single that King Kolax played on) and of Stepheny 1821 (a single that King Kolax was wrongly thought to have played on). We've finally determined what instrument William Corti played on the Jerry Butler session from 1961.
