Cosmic Music: The Life, Art, and Transcendence of Alice Coltrane, by Andy Beta

This is forthcoming soon and I'm curious to read it. I know a bio was out ~15 years ago, and I probably should give that one a read as well. That was before her recent bump in popularity, exhibition in LA, etc..

For anyone in the Hudson Valley, there'll be a book reading/signing co-presented by Tubby's and Rough Draft Books on Thursday, April 2 (FREE).

I'll play some relevant recordings before and after.

Hope to see you there, and also feel free to chime in with thoughts on the volume/s if you have any.

Thanks! I was going to ask (time? Rough Draft or Tubby's?), but looked it up:

Yes, sorry, was exhausted last night -- we'll get started probably closer to 7.
