SUMMARY:Andy Beta for Cosmic Music: The Life\, Art\, and Transcendence of Alice Coltrane
DESCRIPTION:The first full-length biography of Alice Coltrane\, the jazz musician and spiritual leader whose forward-thinking music was overshadowed by her more famous husband\, even as she brilliantly laid the groundwork for the new age\, ambient\, and electronic music that would follow. \nAlice Coltrane (1937-2007) was one of the most misunderstood artists of the last sixty years. For most of her life—and even in the decades since her passing—she was primarily known as the widow of the late John Coltrane. John Coltrane is widely seen as being one of the greatest tenor saxophonists and composers of the 20th century\, with a fervor and devotion approaching sainthood. Yet ever so slowly\, that level of love and appreciation is also being bestowed upon pianist\, organist\, harpist\, and composer Alice Coltrane. \nCosmic Music: The Life\, Art and Transcendence of Alice Coltrane is the first full biography of this remarkable\, groundbreaking artist\, and is an elegant\, deeply researched corrective to the historical—and critical—record. It elevates Alice Coltrane to her proper place\, both alongside her husband as one of the greatest musical visionaries of the 20th century\, and also as a singular artist in Western music\, one who became a spiritual leader in her lifetime. \nIn the years since her passing\, she has become a great influence on a new generation of musicians\, especially women\, people of color\, and artists who seek to combine jazz with other musical forms\, be it modern classical\, electronic\, Indian music\, and more. Cosmic Music also unearths previously unknown connections between Alice Coltrane and other generational icons\, from Stevie Wonder\, Carlos Santana\, and Nina Simone to Mother Teresa and Doja Cat. \nIn Alice Coltrane’s music\, one can perceive the transformation of Black American music in microcosm\, the gospel roots giving rise to jazz and bebop\, then intermingling with soul and R&B\, and then onto rock\, modern classical\, psychedelia\, and new age. Cosmic Music\, based on extensive research and scores of new interviews by music journalist Andy Beta\, is the definitive account of a visionary whose influence is only just beginning to be appreciated in full. \nAndy Beta is an award-winning arts and music writer. His writing on rock\, jazz\, experimental\, and electronic music has appeared in the New York Times\, Wall Street Journal\, Pitchfork\, Rolling Stone\, the Washington Post\, Los Angeles Times\, Texas Monthly\, NPR\, We Jazz Magazine\, and many more. He currently lives in New York City with his family. \nRSVP HERE.

SUMMARY:Emily Dufton for Addiction\, Inc.
DESCRIPTION:How the war on drugs created the gold standard treatment for addiction—until America’s opioid crisis got privatized for profit\, to the detriment of patients. \nDespite epidemic levels of overdoses in the United States\, by 2020\, only twenty percent of Americans suffering from opioid use disorder (OUD) received medication-assisted treatment (MAT)\, the gold standard of addiction treatment\, which uses methadone\, buprenorphine\, or naltrexone to reduce illicit drug use and curb the symptoms of withdrawal. While MAT is the most effective treatment available for OUD\, it’s also the most controversial\, the most expensive\, and the most difficult to access. And yet\, the medications at the center of this treatment—and the private industries that distribute them—generate roughly sixteen billion dollars each year\, on par with national sales of coffee and pet food. \nIn Addiction\, Inc.\, historian Emily Dufton explains how this promising avenue of treatment emerged during President Richard Nixon’s war on drugs in 1971 as a radical experiment in public health\, when hundreds of federally-funded treatment clinics opened nationwide. Dufton then explores how these nationalized clinics gave way to an immensely profitable private industry that offers poor care at high costs to an insufficient number of people. Drawing on original research and over a hundred interviews with policymakers\, medical experts\, pharmaceutical lobbyists\, and patients and their families\, she tells a gripping story of squandered potential and missed opportunities\, as MAT transformed from a revolutionary political project launched from the White House itself into a commercial success—and a public health disaster. \nUrgent\, eye-opening\, and deeply human\, Addiction\, Inc. reveals how\, over the past fifty years\, the United States built an addiction treatment system that made recovery harder instead of easier\, and what it will take to change its course. \nEmily Dufton is the author of Grass Roots: The Rise and Fall and Rise of Marijuana in America. The recipient of a Whiting Creative Nonfiction Grant\, her writing has appeared in the Washington Post\, Smithsonian magazine\, and other publications. She lives with her husband and children outside Washington\, DC. \nRSVP HERE.
