Harvestworks is partnering with the West Harlem Art Fund to present William Hooker performing solo and duo- utilizing drums, poetry, and the electronic/ guitar of Kevin Ramsay. This should prove to be a very fruitful dialogue. Come out to the island and enjoy an afternoon of experimental jazz with us in the oldest “neighborhood” on Governors Island, with military houses dating back to the mid-19th century.
