* 1894 New Orleans, La                              There's a lot of disagreement about Honoré's birth 
† Jul 21, 1935 or 193716 Chicago, IL           and his death date

As a brass band musician he played with: Excelsior, Melrose, Brass Band George McCullum marching band

He was a brother of Sam Dutrey sr.

In 1910 Honore Dutrey started playing trombone in various bands in New Orleans, including Jimmie Noone's outfit. In 1917 he joined the Navy and was involved in an accident that permanently damaged his lungs causing him to suffer from asthma that eventually took his life. From 1920 to 1924 he played trombone with King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band, Carrol Dickerson, Johnny Dodds and Louis Armstrong's Stompers at the Sunset Cafe at 313-17 East 35th Street at the corner of Calmet Street in Chicago.i1

A trombonist who suffered from asthma? Not a promising situation. And so the professional career of the classic New Orleans slide tailgate trombonist Honore Dutrey was cut short at a mere quarter of a century, while some of his peers kept playing for close to 75 years. Dutrey began gigging with various New Orleans combos starting around 1910, including clarinetist Jimmie Noone's band, with whom his taste for intriguing voices was amply demonstrated. He also worked with the Excelsior Jazz Band, a group whose roots extended as far back as 1880, but do not actually connect to the '90s jazz group from Toronto, whose link to the historic New Orleans band is in name only. The Excelsior Jazz Band was founded by Henry Allen, senior, in other words the father of Henry "Red" Allen, who already seems a little long in the tooth to most jazz fans. In 1917, Dutrey joined the Navy and like some unfortunate servicemen, was involved in a needless tragedy, permanently damaging his lungs during a shipboard accident. The terrible after-effects left him with asthma, a condition that eventually led to his death, though he gamely carried on blowing and waving his slide in the faces of front row gawkers. From 1920 to 1924, he played trombone with the famous King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band but also performed and recorded with classic jazz artists such as Carrol Dickerson, Johnny Dodds, and Louis Armstrong's Stompers. He also often led his own bands, following the first professional trails that would eventually lead to a national jazz scene. Apparently, Dutrey was not always that happy about what he found in the process. Heading north from the Crescent City to the Windy City, he was apparently shocked at the lack of status black people had socially in Chicago, compared to New Orleans where the trombonist was one of several black jazz musicians who was an actual property owner. i2 Eugene Chadbourne, All Music Guide

He started with the Melrose Brass Band at the age of 17. With his brother Sam, he played in the Silver Leaf Orchestra. Lungs injured in accident during WWI. He joined King Oliver in Chicago from 1919 until 1924. Later worked with Carroll Dickerson, Johnny Dodds and in 1927 for Louis Armstrong.16
