Out of Nowhere

By Roger Granelli

White British guitarist Frank Magnani arrives in fifties New York to break into the smoky world of jazz. Coming home from the austerity of post-war Europe to a land of plenty he finds there's plenty to learn.

His education is not confined to music alone, he also finds himself in a world where ego is everything, the musicians are black, and the drink and drugs the fuel of creativity. Caught up in the violence of the city, Magnani flees on a journey through the southern provinces and his own mental state too. His personal odyssey is complete when he returns to the club scene of New York in a dramatic climax to his career and this atmospheric novel.

Roger Granelli is a musician and writer. He is the author of five novels.
