Honoré Dutrey
Honoré Dutrey was a dixieland jazz trombonist born in New Orleans, Louisiana, probably best known for his work in King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band. In New Orleans, Dutrey played with the Excelsior band and with John Robichaux's orchestra. His playing has been contrasted with that of other New Orleans trombonists such as Kid Ory, in that he met the older harmonic and rhythmic functions. He suffered from asthma most of his life after a ship accident damaged his lungs while he was in the Navy. To combat his asthma on the band stand, he would inhale a nasal spray prescribed to him by a doctor.
