- The All American Trumpeters
The All American Trumpeters, now known as The Trumpeteers, started life as a small marching band in Sunflex, Alabama, USA. No exact date of establishment has been proved but it is believed to be around 1880/1885. It is known that, in 1901, the group made a brief visit to the UK and played a fund-raising show in the Shropshire village of Myddle. The group did not visit the UK again but are still going strong (with no original members) in the USA as the Trumpeteers
Over the years, various members left and there was a tradition of their sons taking their place. The first female member (Valaida Snow [http://www.npr.org/programs/jazzprofiles/archive/women_1.html] did not join the group until 1954 by which time the group was known simply as The Trumpeteers.
Influences
Influenced by the Golden Gate Quartet and led by the spectacular singing of Joe Johnson, this quartet hit the public's consciousness in the late '40s with "Milky White Way," which they recorded for Score Records. Other members included Raleigh Tunrage (tenor), Joseph Armstrong (baritone), and James Keels (bass). There were numerous personnel changes, and they changed their name to the CBS Trumpeteers during the mid-'50s to promote their CBS radio program. ~ Bil Carpenter & Kip Lornell, All Music Guide.
