The inspiration forDIVA came from Stanley Kay, one-time manager DIVA has also shared the stage with Nancy Wilson, Joe Williams, and relief drummer for Buddy Rich. In 1990, Kay was conducting Diane Schuur, Carmen Bradford, Marlena Shaw, Dee Daniels, a band in which Sherrie Maricle was playing the drums.

This 25-year milestone inspired Music Director/Drummer, Sherrie Maricle, to reflect deeply about the rich history of the band, the profusion of outstanding players who helped create their unique style and sound, and the multitude of extraordinary composers and arrangers who provided the band with magnificent, original music to channel their skills, creativity, and passion. To honor the legacy of the band and their founder Stanley Kay, Sherrie wanted to come up with a special way to capture the diverse and dynamic history of the band and recognize their ever-evolving approach to presenting and performing mainstream jazz. In the current edition of The DIVA Jazz Orchestra, 12 of the extraordinary 15-member ensemble are also gifted composers and arrangers. It was that realization that sparked Sherrie’s vision for D I VA’s 25th Anniversary Project: an all-original DIVA plays DIVA recording. Since most of the band members have been in the band 10+ years, and the newer members were once young fans, it was thrilling to imagine and realize a recording created by band members who have played together for years, who helped forge DIVA’s style and sound, who know the band’s history, who know and respect each other musically, and who genuinely like each other. This CD offers our listeners 10 original compositions by 9 remarkable composers, writing for 15 friends in 1 amazing band. It’s DIVA’s mission to continue to swing hard and grow, through the exceptional individual talent within the band and their extraordinary composers and arrangers. Track Names - Composer - Time 1.

  • I Remember When…. Madrona Black History—Al Larkins by Mark Fleury Quick! Which Seattle Jazz Musician's Name Is Attached To
    I Remember When…. Madrona Black History—Al Larkins By Mark Fleury Quick! Which Seattle jazz musician’s name is attached to a local civic landmark? Quincy Jones? Ray Charles? Ernestine Anderson? Diane Schuur? Kenny G? Good guesses--but all wrong. On a quiet spot in Madrona--at the corner of East Pike St. and 35th Avenue--lies a lovely green expanse of gentle slopes and curving paths landscaped with maple, pine, and fir trees. It’s named after Al Larkins, a Madrona jazz musician. Al played bass and tuba in many local groups, including the Rainy City Jazz Band, one of the city’s most popular and long-lived, jazz ensembles of the late 1940s. Larkins also was a civic leader--a social teacher at Franklin High School, choir director at Madrona Presbyterian Church, and PTA member at Madrona School. Al lived for many years on 30th Avenue and his daughter, Emilee attended Madrona School. Emilee and her husband John Capps still live in Madrona on ??? Avenue. In 1968, Al and his wife Ginny moved into a home on 37th Avenue that Ginny still calls home today. Born July 15, 1924, in Baltimore, Larkins came from a musical family. His older brother Ellis became Ella Fitzgerald’s piano accompanist. Al played tuba in the Baltimore Park and National Guard bands before graduating from Douglass High School. He then joined the Navy as a musician and was stationed at the Sand Point Naval Air Station. In 1943 he played in legendary Seattle band the Jive Bombers. A jump band in the style of Louis Jordan, the Bombers performed jive vocals and got the crowd up dancing.
