He then found work with and His Brownies (playing alongside Ovie Alston) and toured Europe as a member of Leon Abbey's orchestra. In 1929 he married Ada "Bricktop" Smith and played in clubs she owned in the 1930s before they formally separated. Periodically, DuConge worked with Louis Armstrong. In 1932, he was a member of his ensemble for tours of England (1932) and continental Europe (1933–34). He played with Leon Abbey once again in 1934 while in the Netherlands, and also with Coleman Hawkins and Benny Peyton in Europe. In 1939, as World War II erupted, DuConge came back to the United States. (en)
