Marsh Warne

American tenor saxophonist whose playing first came to prominence in the 1950s as a protégé of pianist Lennie Tristano and earned attention in the 1970s as a member of Supersax. Marsh recorded one of his most celebrated albums, All Music (1976), with the Supersax rhythm section. Marsh came from an affluent artistic background: his father was Hollywood cinematographer Oliver T. Marsh (1892–1941), and his mother Elizabeth was a violinist. He was the nephew of actresses Mae Marsh and Marguerite Marsh and film editor Frances Marsh. Marsh collapsed onstage at the Los Angeles club Dontes on the night of 17 December 1987, in the middle of playing the tune "Out of Nowhere". He was declared dead early the next day in a Burbank hospital at age 60. He left a widow, Geraldyne Marsh, and two sons, K.C. Marsh and Jason Marsh. Link to Wikipedia biography Read less
