Music for Prancing is an album by saxophonist Warne Marsh recorded in 1957 and originally released on the Mode label.

Reception

The Allmusic review noted "With a reputation as one of the originators of cool jazz, it's ironic that over the years tenor saxophonist Warne Marsh gained a following of musicians mainly associated with the avant-garde, spearheaded by multi-reedist Anthony Braxton. These musicians heard what this disc demonstrates: that cool didn't always mean smoothed out".
