Ernest Doc Paulin was a New Orleans jazz brass band leader and trumpeter.
Paulin was born in Wallace, Louisiana, in St. John the Baptist Parish to a Creole French speaking family. Paulins father played the accordion. Edgar Peters, his uncle, was a trombonist. Paulin relocated to nearby New Orleans in his youth. He was active on the citys music scene since the 1920s and continued performing marching in long parades into the 1990s. His nonUnion band gave many young musicians their start in playing professionally.
