SUMMARY:Garden Apartments: The History of Low-Rent Utopia
DESCRIPTION:In his new book\, Garden Apartments: The History of a Low-Rent Utopia\, Joshua B. Freeman explains how a form of multifamily housing with idealistic roots became a ubiquitous model dwelling\, promoted by both public entities and private developers. Freeman rescues garden apartments—typically low-rise\, multifamily residences that enclose or are surrounded by landscaped gardens—from their invisibility in the American landscape and details their outsized influence on housing and social policy as they helped upgrade living standards for working people.

SUMMARY:Sweeney Todd
DESCRIPTION:Since its Broadway premiere—where it earned eight Tony Awards\, including Best Musical— Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler’s darkly delicious masterpiece\, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street\, has become a bloody\, worldwide success. Unjustly exiled\, Sweeney Todd returns to London seeking revenge against Judge Turpin\, the corrupt authority who framed him and destroyed his family. Above a failing pie shop run by the cunning Mrs. Lovett\, Todd reopens his barber practice—setting in motion a gruesome partnership that soon feeds both his bloodlust and the city’s appetite. With a cast of unforgettable characters and some of the most chilling music ever written for the stage\, Sweeney Todd invites audiences not just to witness the story\, but to step inside it—where the danger is constant\, the shadows are just a little too close\, and escape is never guaranteed.

SUMMARY:Jazz at One: Orrin Evans
DESCRIPTION:Prolific pianist Orrin Evans has built a renowned career defined by his extensive stylistic range\, blending swing\, blues\, and avant-garde influences. Known for pushing the envelope and for his fierce independence — none of his 25 records were backed by a major label — Evans\, who is also a composer and bandleader\, explains himself best: “I like to stretch out. Wherever the music takes me\, I’m going there.”
