He was also proficient on saxophone, double bass, and banjo. After spending time in Guadeloupe and Martinique, he moved to Europe in 1938, playing in Paris with guitarist Oscar Alemán and then in Brussels with Ram Ramirez, Jean Omer, Harry Pohl, and Jamaican Joe Smith. While in Antwerp Caton played with Gus Clark and Tommy Brookins. Influenced by Lonnie Johnson and Charlie Christian, Caton first began using an amplifier in May 1940. He played in England with Don Marino Barreto (in whose band he met and befriended saxophonist Louis Stephenson, a frequent collaborator)[5][6] and led a house band at Jig's Club. He worked with Cyril Blake, Johnny Claes, Bertie King, Harry Parry, Dick Katz, and Coleridge Goode. Late in the 1940s Caton played with Ray Ellington and Ray Nance, playing under the pseudonym "Lawrence Rix" for legal reasons. Later in his life he also taught and built custom amplifiers. He left music at the end of the 1950s.[7] Caton was the musical arranger for Walking on Air.[8] Lauderic Caton died in London and was buried in Port of Spain,[9] Trinidad, as his wishes were carried out by his "adopted daughter", Ariel King.
