Along with <a href="spotify:artist:4YNvbaOaqp5pzC5US5t48k">Lee Konitz</a>, Warne Marsh was the most successful "pupil" of <a href="spotify:artist:6VoQTYD2vUVvm1H031lp3e">Lennie Tristano</a> and, unlike <a href="spotify:artist:4YNvbaOaqp5pzC5US5t48k">Konitz</a>, Marsh spent most of his career exploring chordal improvisation the <a href="spotify:artist:6VoQTYD2vUVvm1H031lp3e">Tristano</a> way. The cool-toned tenor played with <a href="spotify:artist:7j8I1aIBA9Z9bMy7mTwWKk">Hoagy Carmichael's Teenagers</a> during 1944-1945 and then after the Army, he was with <a href="spotify:artist:1pVtwG5Up1OZOEpSHJ4AAs">Buddy Rich</a> (1948) before working with <a href="spotify:artist:6VoQTYD2vUVvm1H031lp3e">Lennie Tristano</a> (1949-1952). His recordings with <a href="spotify:artist:6VoQTYD2vUVvm1H031lp3e">Tristano</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:4YNvbaOaqp5pzC5US5t48k">Konitz</a> still sound remarkable today with unisons that make the two horns sound like one. Marsh had occasional reunions with <a href="spotify:artist:4YNvbaOaqp5pzC5US5t48k">Konitz</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:6VoQTYD2vUVvm1H031lp3e">Tristano</a> 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 <a href="spotify:artist:0fRYWFmH9tRcY4Bqu7EII8">Supersax</a> 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. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
