"Gabriel's Trumpet" by the Dinwiddie Colored Quartet. An extremely scarce disc by an African American jubilee quartet that eminated from Dinwiddie, Virginia and sang to raise money for the John A. Dix Industrial School in Dinwiddie. The recording was made in New York on October 31, 1902.
The Dinwiddie Colored Quartet, also known as the Dinwiddie Quartet or Dinwiddie Quartette, were a black vocal quartet.
The group was originally founded in 1898 as a jubilee quartet, under the name The Dinwiddie Quartet, to benefit the Dinwiddie Normal and Industrial School of Dinwiddie County. Around 1902, they became independent of the school, and were touring as part of a vaudeville revue.
In October 1902, they recorded six sides for the Victor Talking Machine Company under the name of The Dinwiddie Colored Quartet. Recorded in separate sessions on 29 and 31 October, the songs selected were "Down On The Old Camp Ground", "Poor Mourner", "Gabriel's Trumpet", "My Way Is Cloudy", "We'll Anchor Bye-And-Bye". And "Steal Away".
The group is believed to have disbanded in 1904.price rating
