Larance Marable 1929-2012

I have a funny story peripherally involving Larance Marable. Sometime in the mid-80's, I was working in the Accounts Payable department of an electronics retailer. I got a call from a Margaret Marable from Pioneer Electronics in California, asking about some late invoices. She was pretty hard-nosed, as these encounters can be. A thought occurred to me, and I asked her "are you related to the jazz musician Larance Marable?". There was a pause, and then she said "He's my father-in-law!". She was thrilled that someone knew of him. From then on, our conversations were very cordial.

RIP, Mr. Marable.

One of my all-time favorite albums

spelt wrong (again) & he's not in the picture!!

this album may have been printed before he changed the spelling of his name.

That's probably true. BTW, that was originally released as "Playboys" and it also had Lawrence as the spelling.
