Albert Dominique, better known as Don Albert (August 5, 1908, New Orleans – January 1980, San Antonio, Texas) was an American jazz trumpeter and bandleader.[1]
Albert's uncle was Natty Dominique.[2] He got his start playing in parade brass bands in New Orleans at the beginning of the 1920s.[2] He toured with the territory band of Alphonse Trent in 1925,[1] then played with Troy Floyd at the Shadowland Ballroom in San Antonio from 1926 to 1929.[2]
Albert led his own territory bands out of Texas in the 1930s and 1940s, with sidemen that included Alvin Alcorn, Louis Cottrell, Jr., and Herb Hall.[1] After 1932 he acted more in a manager's capacity than as a performer.[2] His bands played in Mexico and Canada, and won positive reviews from newspapers, but recorded only eight sides.[2] He disbanded this group around 1937 due to economic conditions, and found work in civil service and managing a nightclub called the Keyhole Club in San Antonio in the early and mid-1940s; his club was shut down in 1948 by local authorities.[2] In 1950, he opened a second location at 1619 West Poplar.[3] He led a group at the Palace Theater in New York in 1949.[2]
In the 1950s he continued performing part-time, playing in small groups into the 1970s.[1][2] He recorded again in the 1960s and appeared at the New Orleans Jazz Festival in 1969.[2]
