Voltaire "Volly" De Faut (March 14, 1904 – May 29, 1973)[1] was an American jazz reed player.
De Faut was born in Little Rock, Arkansas, United States,[1] but his family moved to Chicago when he was six.
He played with Sig Meyers in the early 1920s and then spent time in the New Orleans Rhythm Kings before joining Art Kassel.
Around the end of the decade De Faut held several positions in theater orchestras in Chicago, and also worked as a studio musician.
He returned to Chicago in the middle of the 1940s, playing with Bud Jacobson and working extensively on the local jazz scene.
