Tune in to Afternoon New Music at 3 pm on Tuesday, February 9 for an exclusive in-studio interview with William Hooker. The program will contain a 2-hour interview, featuring William Hooker discussing his newest release Light, as well as his upcoming residency at The Stone lasting Feb. 9 - Feb. 14.

William Hooker (drummer, composer and poet) has created works that range from jazz and new music to experimental genres. As bandleader, Hooker has fielded ensembles in an incredibly diverse array of configurations. Each collaboration has brought a serious investigation of his compositional agenda and the science of the modern drum kit.

His latest release, Light, is a 4-CD box set chronicling the early years of his musical career from 1975-1989, containing two reissues of early self-released material, as well as two never-before released sessions from 1988 and 1989. Also playing on the box set are: David S. Ware, David Murray, Jemeel Moondoc, Roy Campbell Jr., Booker T. Williams, Alan Braufman, Hasaan Dawkins, Mark Hennen, Lewis Barnes, Richard Keene, Les Goodson, and Mark Miller.
