1986 studio album by Warne Marsh Quartet & Quintet
Back Home , is an album by saxophonist Warne Marsh , recorded in 1986 and released on the Dutch Criss Cross Jazz label.[ 1] [ 2]
Reception
The AllMusic review states that "the tenor master and Tristano disciple works through a set of tunes that, in true Tristano fashion, are built entirely upon the harmonic foundations of popular standards... Marsh's peculiar linear logic and behind-the-beat phrasing are the aural equivalent of well-aged scotch, and his rapport with Barry Harris represents a felicitous union of straight bebop and one of its most enigmatic tributaries, the Tristano school".[ 4]
