[Dixielandjazz] Frank Chace

[Marty Nichols]

I knew Frank Chace in the 50's while I lived in Chicago (53-57). It's hard to forget someone with a name that is spelled in an unusual way (Chace not Chase.) He was a Pee Wee Russell "soundalike." I played one or two gigs with him and I clearly remember the day I was present in the recording studio where Frank recorded with Dave Remington, and Sid Dawson and others on an LP called "Chicago Jazz Reborn." I lost contact with Frank when I left Chicago. I recently came across a recording he made with Wild Bill at Storyville. BTW- Ed Hubble was absolutely fantastic on trombone on it.
  Sorry to hear we have lost Frank.
