I'll be all over this like white on rice if I can find out where to get it. Any leads?

Warner is one of the all-time giants, and what his pop did in the furtherance of the popularity of football cannot be overestimated.

[Hardbopjazz]

True Blue. I got an email a short while ago.

A PREVIOUSLY UNISSUED RECORDING BY WARNE MARSH.

Warne Marsh Trio. “New York City Live” – Riverworks Records.

Reviewed by Jack Goodwin.

This 2CD set brings together two old friends. Keith “Red” Mitchell and Warne Marsh first met when both were in the army in 1946, with Red playing piano at that time. They first recorded together in September 1957 in Los Angeles and this was released as “Music for Prancing” on the Mode label. However in 1980 they played and toured together both in New York and Europe. Firstly, they played a concert at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center, NYC sponsored by the Lennie Tristano Foundation, then moved on to Norway where they recorded with Karin Krog, and made a radio broadcast the following day. Next stop was Stockholm where they played and broadcast several times. Concerts at the Fasching Club, Stockholm were recorded and subsequently tracks were released by Storyville Records under the title “The Big Two” - Volumes 1 & 2. Returning to New York, they played a week at Sweet Basil on Seventh Avenue, and tracks recorded at this venue have been released on Fresh Sound Records.

This set of two CD’s recorded live in New York, have a total of fifteen tracks and give a playing time of about ninety minutes. They capture both Warne and Red at their peak. Warne is instantly recognisable and plays some gloriously inventive solos. Red’s sonorous and always perfectly pitched sound blends perfectly with Warne and it is as though they are communicating telepathically, they integrate so well. Drummer Pete Scattaretico studied with Lennie Tristano and played regularly with Warne Marsh from 1979. He plays with drive and perfect taste and the Trio members are obviously listening to each other and appreciating the result. This music is pure jazz improvisation of the highest quality and I cannot recommend this CD issue enough.

Pete Scattaretico has put in a lot of work in producing these CD’s and is to be congratulated in putting together an excellent package. The sound quality is excellent, and the liner notes and graphics compliment the whole thing. These CD’s will soon be available from the usual sources at around $22.00 but you can enquire about their availability from Pete at http://www.peterscattaretico.com/

Indeed it is, and True Blue did not send me the email (at least not yet), so, Sale CDU.

New Warne Marsh album ?!?

That's reason to rejoice

[Head Man]

Great news...ordered mine from Amazon.com today.

Pretty good Warne, not "the best", but still recommended.

However, the "Body and Soul" on here is "the best" and is worth the cost of admission alone. Warne gets into that zone of his on this one and goes waaaaaaaay deep into it. A true masterpiece, jaw-droppingly so.

[Hardbopjazz]

Your copy arrived from CDU? I still didn't get mine. I ordered it the day I started this thread.

[Don Brown]

My copy arrived in today's mail. Haven't had chance to play it yet.

I agree. I've been playing it all day..sensational!

We here, at organissimo, are single-handedly keeping the US Postal Service in business.

[jlhoots]

On the way.

Expect it in a day or two.

[Pete B]

I've spun my copy a couple of times now. This is really fine - excellent sound, nice performances, and some topnotch WM moments.
