Arno Marsh was born on May 28, 1928 in Grand Rapids, Michigan and played early on in local dance bands, then played in Woody Herman’s ensemble from 1951 to 1953, where he soloed frequently on Herman’s Mars Records releases.

He led a band in a Grand Rapids residency from 1953 to 1955, then rejoined Herman intermittently through 1958. He recorded with Stan Kenton, Charlie Barnet, Lionel Hampton, Buddy Rich, and Harry James. After the late 1950s most of Marsh’s activity was in Las Vegas, Nevada leading hotel orchestras. He accompanied Nancy Wilson on record with one of them in 1968, and did a Woody Herman tribute in 1974.

Tenor saxophonist Arno Marsh transitioned at the age of 91 on July 12, 2019.
