Doug Ramsey on Jazz and other matters...

Warne Marsh

Marsh.jpgReaders of Safford Chamberlain’s An Unsung Cat: The Life and Music of Warne Marsh–indeed, anyone interested in that staunch individualist among saxophonists–will want to investigate The Warne Marsh Site. The web pages developed by Rifftides reader Jack Goodwin include a thorough discography, a news section, photographs and a page called Global Warne-ing in which afficionados around the world exchange Marsh anecdotes and listening experiences.
The discography begins with a trio recording Marsh made at age fifteen with thirteen-year-old André Previn playing piano. It ends with a session three days before he died in 1987.
To sample Marsh’s latterday playing, see him in this video clip with Sal Mosca, Eddie Gomez and Kenny Clarke.
