Percy Gaston Humphrey (January 13, 1905 – July 22, 1995 ) was an American jazz trumpeter and bandleader in New Orleans, Louisiana.

The members of the band varied, usually having nine to eleven members.

Typical instrumentation was three trumpets, two trombones, two reeds, tuba, snare drum, and bass drum.

Reed instruments were many, including the saxophones that often are found among jazz bands, but the clarinet is characteristically the signature reed instrument of New Orleans jazz.
