  We show that a convolution semigroup of measures has Jacobi parameters
polynomial in the convolution parameter $t$ if and only if the measures come
from the Meixner class. Moreover, we prove the parallel result, in a more
explicit way, for the free convolution and the free Meixner class. We then
construct the class of measures satisfying the same property for the two-state
free convolution. This class of two-state free convolution semigroups has not
been considered explicitly before. We show that it also has Meixner-type
properties. Specifically, it contains the analogs of the normal, Poisson, and
binomial distributions, has a Laha-Lukacs-type characterization, and is related
to the $q=0$ case of quadratic harnesses.
