Claude Roger Lakey (21 August 1910 Texas - 13 October 1990 Nacogdoches, Texas) was an American saxophonist, trumpeter, and arranger who performed with Joe Rivet (1933), Orrin Tucker (1934), Ben Young (1934), Glenn Miller (1936–1939), Harry James (1939–1947), Frankie Laine (1947), Bobby Sherwood (1947), and Gene Krupa. During World War II, Lakey was a member of several U.S. Army bands. He also directed his own band (1946). In 1947, Lakey enrolled at the University of North Texas during its inaugural year of first jazz degree program offered in the world. In 1949, at the request of Gene Hall, the jazz program's founding director, Lakey, as student conductor, became the first conductor of the Laboratory Dance Band, the original name of the One O'Clock Lab Band.
