Product Description
"Out of Nowhere" by Marcus Cornelius: Readers' Comments
"The book is one of the very best music books I've ever read ... an outstanding piece of jazz literature. Congratulations!"
Roland Baggenaes, Denmark (June 2002)
"It has the serenity of complex and perfect harmony."
Philippe Paschel, France (December 2003)
"Just finished reading this fascinating, compelling, and, at times, deeply moving work by Marcus M. Cornelius. It's not quite like any other "jazz book" I've ever read, and I mean that in a wholly positive way. I never lost the illusion that this is actually Warne Marsh speaking, telling his life's story "from beyond", and entirely in his own voice. From the recounting of his ancestry, to the detached ambivalence of his childhood, to the various reasons why he did or did not do certain things in his life (personal and career-related), the author really seems to have captured the "voice" of his subject..... it's a damn good book.
J. Sngry, Organissimo Jazz Forum (March 2003)
"I couldn't recommend it more highly! I found it to be supremely insightful and informative. The author manages to put his feet in Warne's shoes and tell us what he was seeing in the world around him as he grew up and played music.... It is brilliant."
K.C. Marsh, USA (May 2002)
"The book has been a miracle for me. It is always near me. Thank you."
Geraldyne Marsh, USA (May 2002)
"Just a moment ago I finished reading your wonderful book. Very often during the reading I felt as if I was sitting back in the Village Vanguard, sometimes hearing Warne's surprising solos. The book should be read by anyone with a true interest in this music....a marvellous work."
Alwyn Lewis, Australia (May 2002)

A rich raw look at a master's life
18 Nov 2010
Format:Paperback
Warne Marsh was one of the most amazing and enigmatic players ever to pick up a tenor saxophone. Out of nowhere provides a tantalizing glimpse into the life of a truly under appreciated genius. A must read for anyone interested in the life behind the music.
