Walter Fuller (musician)

Walter "Rosetta" Fuller (February 15, 1910 in Dyersburg, Tennessee – April 20, 2003 in San Diego, California) was an American jazz trumpeter and vocalist.

He began a longtime partnership with Earl Hines in 1931, remaining with him until 1937, when he took a job with Horace Henderson's ensemble.

He left Hines again in 1940 to form his own band, playing at the Grand Terrace in Chicago and the Radio Room in Los Angeles.

Among his sidemen were Rozelle Claxton, Quinn Wilson, Omer Simeon, and Gene Ammons.

He led bands on the West Coast for over a decade, and played as a side trumpeter and vocalist for many years afterward.
