Tenor Saxophone Master Warne Marsh: "All Music"

9:01pm - 12:27am

Warne Marsh was an uncompromising artist and always stuck to playing only music he believed in. From 1948 on he studied with the great pianist/teacher/guru Lennie Tristano. He appeared on Tristano's ground breaking 1949/50 recordings and many thereafter. Marsh had a unique sound, acerbic and cerebral to be sure but still warm and full. His melodic ideas were all his own and his place since his death in 1987 has been re-evalued and he is now considered one of the great masters of his horn and joins the ranks of John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Stan Getz et.al. To celebrate Marsh's Birthday (Oct.26) this evening we present him in a favourite setting. His sole horn backed by a great rhythm section including pianist Lou Levy (one of his favourites), bassist Fred Atwood and drum great Jake Hanna. The tunes are written by Marsh, Levy and lee Konitz. Two great standards appear as well. The beautiful "Easy Livin'" and the latter day classic by Johnny Mandel. Happy Birthday Warne Marsh.....you are "All Music".
