Out of Nowhere

<I>Out of Nowhere by Marcus Cornelius: Readers' Comments<P>The book is one of the very best music books I've ever read ... an outstandingpiece of jazz literature. Congratulations!<BR />Roland Baggenaes Denmark (June 2002)<P>It has the serenity of complex and perfect harmony.<BR />Philippe Paschel France (December 2003)<P>Just finished reading this fascinating compelling and at times deeply movingwork by Marcus M. Cornelius. It's not quite like any other jazz book I've everread 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.<BR />J. Sngry Organissimo Jazz Forum (March 2003)<P>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.<BR />K.C. Marsh USA (May 2002)<P>The book has been a miracle for me. It is always near me. Thank you.<BR />Geraldyne Marsh USA (May 2002)<P>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.<BR />Alwyn Lewis Australia (May 2002)</I>
