Marsh
Marsh’s passion for electronic music began with the three disk album compilation 'Classic Euphoria’. Over the years his musical tastes deepened, but always remained loyal to the emotions found in early Trance music. These early inspirations have continued to contribute to Marsh’s atmospheric and melodic signature sound heard today.
Following his debut, ‘You'll Be Fine’, released on Silk Music in June 2012, Marsh has earned the spotlight amongst many electronic dance music stars. His music has featured on Above & Beyond’s ‘Group Therapy’ radio show on numerous occasions. The show regularly appears amongst the top 10 most downloaded music podcasts on iTunes and reaches millions of global subscribers.
’Sleeping Now’, released on Silk Music in October 2012 initially grabbed the attention of Above & Beyond and was supported as ‘Record Of The Week’ and ‘Web Vote Winner’ on their radio show. Marsh has since remixed Above & Beyond’s ‘Counting Down The Days’, released on Anjunabeats in March 2016. He has also featured as guest mixer on their acclaimed radio show.
In June 2017, Marsh released his debut artist album ‘Life On The Shore’. ‘Make' from the album accumulated over 6 million streams on Spotify alone. His music has been reviewed by DJ Mag and promoted by world famous ‘Electric Daisy Carnival’ founders, Insomniac Events.
Marsh has spent the majority of 2018 producing a wealth of new music. Meanwhile his Spotify page has accumulated over 7 million streams and reaches 2.4 million listeners. In November, Marsh embarked on a new adventure with Above & Beyond’s Anjunadeep imprint. His label debut ‘Black Mountain’ was played on BBC Radio One.
Marsh is a touring artist, having performed at recent US events in New York City and Seattle. He has also performed in London and Leeds on several occasions. Marsh prepares for exciting announcements and releases coming at the beginning of 2019.

Art Pepper and Warne Marsh

JazzWax by Marc Myers
There are great jazz musicians. And then there are great pairings of great jazz musicians. Some of these pairings you know, some may be less familiar. A duo in the latter category was West Coast alto saxophonist Art Pepper and New York tenor saxophonist Warne Marsh. On the recordings by these two players, you get two artists who personified a cooler, drier sound on the reed instrument. By cooler and drier, I mean smooth, no vibrato, relaxed and behind the ...

JazzWax by Marc Myers
Arno Marsh, a big band tenor saxophonist who recorded almost exclusively with Woody Herman's Third Herd in the 1950s and cited Chu Berry and Stan Getz among his major influences, died on July 12. He was 91. In addition to his work with Herman, Arno led a band in his home town of Grand Rapids, Mich., between 1951 and '53, but the ensemble isn't known to have recorded. Arno began playing in Las Vegas starting in the late 1950s and ...

JazzWax by Marc Myers
On Sunday, October 18, 1987, Warne Marsh was leading a quartet at a San Francisco concert. The performance was held just two months before the cool-jazz tenor saxophonist would collapse and die of a heart attack on stage at Donte's in North Hollywood at age 60. Backing Marsh in San Francisco was Larry Koonse (g), Seward McCain (b) and Jim Zimmerman (d). They were performing a “Jazz In Flight" concert on the stage of the Children's Day School (above), which ...

"Art Pepper & Warne Marsh," Vol. 9 Of The Critically Acclaimed "Unreleased Art" Series, To Be Released By Laurie Pepper's Widow's Taste Label On November 11

On April 26, 1974, two wildly gifted and very different artists, Art Pepper and Warne Marsh, met again, for the first time in 17 years, by accident, on the stage at Donte’s in North Hollywood, because Jack Sheldon had to cancel. It must have made for an unforgettable night for those who found themselves sitting in the legendary club and listening to two cult heroes, two profoundly great musicians, playing for the audience and each other—out of the lives they’d ...

Warne Marsh: Dahoud

JazzWax by Marc Myers
In the fall of 1953, while on tour in North Africa with Lionel Hampton, trumpeter Clifford Brown and the band stopped in Algeria. There, it is assumed the essence of his composition Daahoud came together. It's unclear who Daahoud was, Daahoud being Arabic for David. When Brown returned to the States and began to record as a leader, starting with the Pacific Jazz label in July 1954, his new composition Daahoud was part of the session with Stu Williamson (v-tb) ...

JazzWax by Marc Myers
The Half Note in New York was a jazz club at 289 Hudson St. that operated from 1957 to 1972. Today, the building still stands and houses a deli (below), unless, of course, the insane New York real estate market has consumed this building, too. [Photo above of Warne Marsh] In June 1964, CBS's Look up and Live, narrated by Dr. William Hamilton, broadcast from the club, featuring the music of alto saxophonist Lee Konitz and tenor saxophonist Warne Marsh, ...

Warne Marsh: Music for Prancing

JazzWax by Marc Myers
In the 1950s, tenor saxophonist Warne Marsh sounded like Stan Getz with parts missing. A pioneer of the Lennie Tristano-influenced cool jazz movement of the late 1940s and early '50s, Marsh was born in Los Angeles and gigged and recorded there as a leader between 1952 and 1957 before shifting to New York for a few years and then moving back to L.A. in the mid-'60s. Getz's cool sound came from his passion for Lester Young. George Wein told me ...

Warne Marsh: "Ballad Album"

JazzWax by Marc Myers
If you don't care much for the jazz recordings of tenor saxophonist Warne Marsh because you've found the music a tad hairy—with all its Lennie Tristano theory and freewheeling feel—I have just the album for you. This one will allow you to finally appreciate Marsh's qualities—seamless solos that don't seem to require a breath and highly lyrical improvised ideas. The way into Marsh is through The Ballad Album. Recorded (appropriately) in Monster, the Netherlands, in April 1983, Marsh was joined ...

Interview: Arno Marsh (Part 2)

JazzWax by Marc Myers
On the phone, Arno Marsh sounds the way he plays. There's a smoothness to his voice, and the cadence of his words swings. Swinging, in general, is a lost art. Those who came up in the '40s and '50s have a real knack for it. When they start blowing,they slip right into the groove, with that two-four junkyard dog chasing after them. [Pictured: Arno Marsh in recent years, courtesy of Arno Marsh] Swinging, of course, has nothing to do with ...
