Review
by Scott Yanow
The
music on this collection is consistently brilliant, but all of the 13
performances are easily available elsewhere on seven Warne Marsh
Storyville CDs. The cool-toned and always adventurous tenor saxophonist
is heard in two different quintets with altoist Lee Konitz, playing trio
numbers with bassist Niels Pedersen and drummer Alan Levitt, performing
duets with bassist Red Mitchell, and jamming with the Kenny Drew Trio.
The music, taken from Marsh's visits to Copenhagen in 1975 and 1980,
features Marsh jamming over familiar chord changes and effortlessly
coming up with one fresh melodic idea after another. He was in prime
form during this period and is quite inspired throughout, making this
set a fine introduction to his playing, although veteran fans will want
the complete sessions.

Reseña

La
música de esta colección es consistentemente brillante, pero las 13
interpretaciones están fácilmente disponibles en siete CDs de Warne
Marsh Storyville. Se escucha al saxofonista tenor de tono fresco y
siempre aventurero en dos quintetos diferentes con el contralto Lee
Konitz, tocando números en trío con el bajista Niels Pedersen y el
batería Alan Levitt, haciendo dúos con el bajista Red Mitchell, e
improvisando con el Kenny Drew Trio. La música, tomada de las visitas de
Marsh a Copenhague en 1975 y 1980, muestra a Marsh improvisando sobre
cambios de acordes familiares y proponiendo sin esfuerzo una idea
melódica fresca tras otra. Marsh estaba en plena forma durante este
período y está muy inspirado en todo momento, por lo que este disco es
una buena introducción a su forma de tocar, aunque los fans veteranos
querrán las sesiones completas.
