Lennie and Warne

Warne Marsh in the '50s was testing the limits of saxophone playing in ways that bring to mind the avant-garde and Lennie Tristano, with Marsh and Lee Konitz along for the ride, presaged free jazz way back in 1949. You can hear both on the recent reissue of the compilation "Intuition," which I got for $11.99, along with plenty of bopish and hard bopish goodness. Worth every penny and then some.
