Thesaurus is an album by American composer/arranger/pianist Clare Fischer, recorded and released in 1969 by Atlantic Records.

The New York Times review by Martin Williams was written shortly after the album's original release:

West Coast pianist Clare Fischer has done what I wish Monk would do: he has written his own big band arrangements; the results are admirable. Fischer can make his ensembles whisper, sing, shout, praise, explain, cajole, proclaim. He is not afraid to be simple when simplicity will work; he can write for a mere quintet within the ensemble when he wants to. The solos by tenor saxophonist Warne Marsh, particularly, and baritone saxophonist Bill Perkins are the best I've heard from these men, but, the leader excepted, some of the other improvisers confine themselves to other people's ideas. - Wikipedia

Ne Plus Ultra, is an album by saxophonist Warne Marsh, recorded in 1969 and released on the Revelation label in 1970

The Guardian's John Fordham said, "A largely unsung classic, originally released in 1969, and featuring the most purist of all the followers of Cool School guru Lennie Tristano's ascetically linear method of jazz improvising. West Coast saxophonist Warne Marsh (like all the Tristanoites) liked staying in a narrow dynamic range, but within it he could perform miracles of melodic invention and rhythmic audacity – though almost always performing the latter over a metronomically steady drummer's groove" - Wikipedia

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
