Warne Marsh(born in L.A,Oct. 26,1927 and died Dec.18,1987) was one of the great individualists of the tenor saxophone. He was pianist/teacher/Jazz pioneer, Lennie Tristano's prize pupil and worked and played on Tristano's few recordings with altoist Lee Konitz. Marsh was true to Jazz throughout his career and never veered into any kind of commercial music devoting his life to playing music that he could feel proud about. This is one of Marsh's finest and most personal recordings. With Warne on this date is Lou Levy on piano, Fred Atwood on bass and the great Jake Hanna on drums. The album sums up Marsh's philosophy......it's called "All Music".
