Fabulous Warne Marsh and Lee Konitz on TV

[Larry Kart]

Maybe this has been mentioned before, but to check out these performances ("Half Nelson," Godchild" and Subconscious Lee") from "The Subject Is Jazz" show, got to You Tube and plug in "Billy Taylor" and "Warne Marsh." Warne in particular is in great form; it's fascinating to take in his physical relationship to the horn -- so loose and free.

Thanks! Great clips! As you say, absolute prime quality Marsh, enhanced by being able to see what he's doing.

Cheers Larry, here's a link for a 15 minute clip from the show in question so we'll all know what "COOL" is.

Thanks for posting.

Thanks for that! The performances were so...lively! Why can't there be TV shows like that now??

(And I didn't know Gilbert Seldes had a TV show!)
