So cool ! I remember the solo of Warne Marsh being featured in the documentary "Tenor Titans" and I've always wanted to see more of the segment. I've been looking for this archival footage for a long time. Thanks for posting !

(-: This is considered "Cool Jazz" and the saxophone players are students of someone called Lennie Tristano who has his own category of coolnes, called "The Tristano School". But F-ck all that Sh-t, categories are for losers.

interesting Warne Marsh love his stuff with art pepper nice to see his mouthwork,first time seen film of him,must have worn his teeth down with that indervidual style being a horn player very impressed not seen another like him. thanks for the post

Warne freaks, I think you may really LOVE a new master class on the life and music of Lennie Tristano. Open a box of wine, and type in "Dave Frank" Tristano on YT..

Got no problem with the music, but it shows the hoops you had to jump through to get jazz on television in 1956. 'Jazz: its Evolution and Essence'... what shit! It just about sums up that white cerebral critical approach to jazz.

@yonimiller true but it does help to get some perspective on the music in order to put it into a context and better understand it. These guys in this period went about creating music with the same goals in mind and it comes out this way as a result.

trumpet player?

There's a documentary being done about Warne Marsh called, "Warne Marsh: An Improvised Life". There's a face book fan page up for it. Nice to see his work getting more attention.

Warne Marsh, tio !!!

[peerschmidtke]

All those big guys of the cool-era were outstanding. Very precise timing always fluent ideas with melodies to remember. Sometimes I thinik they dindn´t know how great they really were!
