An Unsung Cat explores the life and music of jazz saxophonist,
Warne Marsh. Safford Chamberlain follows the artist from his start
in youth bands like the Hollywood Canteen Kids and The Teen-Agers
through his studies under Lennie Tristano, his brilliant playing of
the 1950s, his disappearance from public view in the 1960s, his
re-emergence in the 1970s, and his belated recognition in the 1980s
as one of the finest tenor players of the post-World War II era.
Through interviews with the Marsh family and friends, Chamberlain
offers an inside view of Marsh's private life, including his
struggles with drug abuse. Detailed analysis of outstanding
performances complements the personal story, while an extensively
researched discography and photographs reveal the public and
private face of this unique performer. In addition to the book,
Scarecrow is pleased to offer a companion compact disc, released by
Storyville Records. The tracks on the CD provide a representative
sampling of Marsh's best work, while providing a historical
overview of his development, from the beginning track, "Apple
Honey," which is a private, low-fidelity tape from an NBC radio
broadcast in 1945 of the Hoagy Carmichael Show, to the final track,
"Sweet and Lovely," captured months before his death in 1987.
