About
Conceived by the astounding drummer William Hooker,EVIDENCE; the baldwin suite is a stirring multimedia tribute to the ferociously daring novelist and social critic, James Baldwin. Featuring the talents of Mr. Hooker and his quintet (Fay Victor, Jesse Henry, Ras Moshe, Eriq Robinson, Mark Hennen and William Hooker), and dancer Goussy Celestin, this hour long concert celebrates Baldwin with references to Baldwin’s great works and adherence to his number one conviction: speaking truth to power, regardless of how painful. An informal discussion and reception will follow the performance(Bob Holman and William Hooker)....
