I suspect there's an element of political correctness going on here. I 
recall one avant garde jazz musician referring to King Oliver not as 
"Joe Oliver", but as "Joseph Oliver", presumably as a way of giving 
respectability to jazz musicians. And years ago Johnny Dankworth started 
referring to himself as "John".
