[Dixielandjazz] Orchestra with harp!

[Richard Broadie]

Hi Stan.  Looked at exactly one email on djml in last 6 months or so and 
have 1,256 unread djml files since they were last deleted.  So I was amazed 
when I clicked on only one email and discovered it was about Adele Gerard. 
Your tinyurl link didn't give me a clue as to the subject.  She lived in the 
Coachella Valley and I had the pleasure of knowing her for several months 
likely in the late 1980s or early 1990s.  She was playing beautifully at the 
time.  I had the opportunity to play clarinet with her several times but 
unfortunately didn't.  I can't remember the circumstances.  Considering who 
her late husband was could have been an intimidating factor.  However, in my 
omnipresent stupidity, it was more likely that I was offered a better paying 
job and Adele allowed me "off the hook."

The final coincidence here is that the email was from you, old friend.  I 
didn't realize that until I hit the reply button and your name popped up. 
Hope the world gets a little bit smaller yet when, in about 2 months, I'll 
be able to share some audio engineering duties with you at the Sweet and 
Hot.  Take care my friend.

PS   If you reply, please do so off-list at rbroadie at dc.rr.com so I'll 
actually read it.  I wish I had time enough to get back into the fray on 
DJML but am keeping way too busy these days in my retirement.  I sure miss 
those days of working when I had all that spare time.    Dick

Arne;



Here's more information about Adele Girard Marsala who played in Joe
Marsala's Hickory House band. It also mentions Duke and Billy Strayhorn.

During Duke´s convalescence the first half of July 1938 ( from an operation
of hernia ) little is known about the band´s wherabouts in that period.

I was looking through the Gottlieb Collection and found several very
interesting photos of some of the band members teaming up with Joe Marsala

and his orchestra on a gig at the Turkish Embassy.

Fun to see Bigard, Hodges, Carney, Brown, Stewart playing along with
Marsala´s wife, Adele Girard on harp!
