Warne Marsh Quartet • Star Highs

 

Biography
by Scott Yanow
Along with Lee Konitz, Warne Marsh was the most successful "pupil" of Lennie Tristano and, unlike Konitz, Marsh spent most of his career exploring chordal improvisation the Tristano way. The cool-toned tenor played with Hoagy Carmichael's Teenagers during 1944-1945 and then after the Army, he was with Buddy Rich (1948) before working with Lennie Tristano (1949-1952). His recordings with Tristano and Konitz still sound remarkable today with unisons that make the two horns sound like one. Marsh had occasional reunions with Konitz and Tristano through the years, spent periods outside of music, and stayed true to his musical goals. He moved to Los Angeles in 1966 and worked with Supersax during 1972-1977, also filling in time teaching. Marsh, who collapsed and died on stage at the legendary Donte's club in 1987 while playing "Out of Nowhere," is now considered legendary. He recorded as a leader for Xanadu, Imperial, Kapp, Mode (reissued on V.S.O.P.), Atlantic, Wave, Storyville, Revelation, Interplay, Criss Cross, and Hot Club.

Biografía
por Scott Yanow
Junto con Lee Konitz, Warne Marsh fue el "alumno" más exitoso de Lennie Tristano y, a diferencia de Konitz, Marsh pasó la mayor parte de su carrera explorando la improvisación de acordes a la manera de Tristano. Este tenor de tono frío tocó con los Teenagers de Hoagy Carmichael durante 1944-1945 y, después del ejército, estuvo con Buddy Rich (1948) antes de trabajar con Lennie Tristano (1949-1952). Sus grabaciones con Tristano y Konitz todavía suenan de forma notable, con unísonos que hacen que las dos trompas suenen como una sola. Marsh se reunió ocasionalmente con Konitz y Tristano a lo largo de los años, pasó periodos fuera de la música y se mantuvo fiel a sus objetivos musicales. Se trasladó a Los Ángeles en 1966 y trabajó con Supersax durante 1972-1977, ocupando también tiempo en la enseñanza. Marsh, que se desplomó y murió en el escenario del legendario club Donte's en 1987 mientras tocaba "Out of Nowhere", es considerado ahora una leyenda. Grabó como líder para Xanadu, Imperial, Kapp, Mode (reeditado en V.S.O.P.), Atlantic, Wave, Storyville, Revelation, Interplay, Criss Cross y Hot Club.
