I just finished reading An Unsung Cat, so I decided to fill in a few holes in my Warne March Collection:

Warne Marsh - A Ballad Album

Warne Marsh - Star Highs

Warne Marsh - Live at Dana Point

Warne Marsh - Unissued Copenhagen Studio Recordings

Very fine listening ahead. Please provide feedback on the records AND the book.

Will do.

I'm a bit conflicted on the book right now. I really enjoyed reading it, and it added greatly to my understanding of Marsh and his music, but the author's take on such an intensely private person comes across as extremely subjective. I'll have to do a search and read others thoughts but I get the feeling that Chamberlain is positing a lot that isn't really supported by fact. I have no clue if his conjectures are correct or not, but I'm taking a lot of what he says with a big grain of salt.

That's exactly why I asked the question. AND the situation is further clouded by Out Of Nowhere.

Is that the "fictional" biography? I've never come across it and haven't been compelled to search it out. Is it worth tracking down, taken for what it is?

It's a fascinating "case study". Trouble is I can't decide if the "case" is Marsh or the author.

Don't anyone laugh at the Chris Botti selections. With my new status as a single male, I know I'll have to be introducing some unsuspecting woman into the world of jazz. I figure starting off with somethings like this might make the Sam Rivers stuff a little more palatable - someday

Geeeeeeeez.

I was just looking at your selection and trying to figure out the Chris Botti/Sam Rivers connection in your listening habits. :wacko:

Thanks for the clarification. :tup
