5.0 out of 5 stars If you love Lester Young, you love Warne Marsh, December 7, 2005

This review is from: Warne Marsh & Sal Mosca Quartet, Vol. 2 (Audio CD)

Warne Marsh, by far the most melodically, harmonically, and technically talented of the late 40's cool jazz saxaphonists teams up with one of the most talented, but unheralded pianists of the modern era Sal Mosca, a disciple of Bud Powell and Lennie Tristano.

This amazing music was recorded Live at the Village Vanguard in 1981 when both men were at their musical peaks; they were stretching out into new places under the influence, perhaps, of al lthe experimental music going on around them.

The results yield incredibly free interpretations of standards and originals that are like eating grand-ma's meatloaf with some new gourmet sauce and a fine dark chocholate desert.

I never tire of these guys. Exciting, harmonious, interesting blissful jazz music with brains and delicacy.

This is exquisite live jazz by two of the greats at their peak.
Both disciples of Lennie Tristano, but each with their own unique sound, as it should be. Live at the Vanguard.
This is Bebop reworked and made even more harmonically inventive, melodically beautiful, and perhaps less rhythmically complex.
Easy on the ears, but interesting for the brain.
