| Abstract | This book follows saxophonist Warne Marsh from his start in groups like the Hollywood Canteen Kids and The Teen-Agers, to his studies under Lennie Tristano, to the achievement of what Down Beat magazine called "some of the finest tenor playing of modern times." Through interviews with Marsh's family and friends, the author offers an inside view of Marsh's private life. Detailed analyses of outstanding performances complement Marsh's personal story, as does an extensively researched discography. The book also includes photographs that reveal the public and private face of this underappreciated performer. |
