Erroneous trip to campus so making the most of my trip in between tasks.
Warne Marsh was one of Anthony Braxton’s role models (as was Paul Desmond) which really confused many of his peers (and made some quite angry with him). There’s a lovely moment on film where Braxton sings the whole of a Lee Konitz solo to its author who is completely baffled: race is a huge thing in jazz but somehow he subverts all of that for a moment at least.
The ultimate 70s low mass high compliance low tracking weight over-engineering of this setup I love. The arm wand and stylus assembly weigh so little you have to take all the weights and spacers out of the arm counterweight carrier assembly for it to balance. #vinyl #WarneMarsh #jazz #ortofon #thorens #sme
