Among the groups he played with during his career were the
Woody Herman Orchestra, Buddy Morrow, the Glenn Miller Orchestra,
the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, Bob Crosby and his Bobcats, and
with Ralph Martieri.
Mr. Trube sat in with Al Hirt and Pete Fountain while on a
six month stay in New Orleans, and in 1971, went on a prolonged
tour as a lounge entertainer with a national motel chain which
brought him to Daytona Beach in 1972, where he performed at
many area nightclubs. He also headed the Daytona Jazz Band,
renowned for its Sunday afternoon Dixieland concerts. In Ormond
Beach he lived at 1104 Avenue J.
