   Frank chase is a Chicago clarinetist who is still around but has been 
mainly inactive for years.  Frank is easily the finest Pee Wee Russell 
impressionist who ever came down the pike.

Isn't Eph Resnick on that album?  Eph is-was a pretty good Teagarden 
impressionist years ago but his style changed.
