Back Home (Warne Marsh album)

Back Home, is an album by saxophonist Warne Marsh, recorded in 1986 and released on the Dutch Criss Cross Jazz label.

Reception
The AllMusic review states that "the tenor master and Tristano disciple works through a set of tunes that, in true Tristano fashion, are built entirely upon the harmonic foundations of popular standards... Marsh's peculiar linear logic and behind-the-beat phrasing are the aural equivalent of well-aged scotch, and his rapport with Barry Harris represents a felicitous union of straight bebop and one of its most enigmatic tributaries, the Tristano school".
