Larance Marable

Larance Marable (May 21, 1929 - July 4, 2012) was a West Coast jazz hard bop drummer born in Los Angeles, California, probably best known for his work with Charlie Haden in his Quartet West.[1] However, Marable also had a strong career first as a bop musician in the 1950s working with the likes of Dexter Gordon and Charlie Parker, among others. In the 1960s he started to venture into the cool jazz idiom with musicians like Zoot Sims, George Shearing and Chet Baker, although he worked with Baker as early as 1952 on the album "Bird and Chet: Live at the Trade Winds".[2]

Earlier in his career, he was known as Lawrence Marable.[3]

Larance was a relative of Mississippi riverboat bandleader Fate Marable.[4]
