WILLIAM HOOKER
Half a century ago, free jazz liberated William Hooker; he has never gone back, only forward into wide-open improvisation, into music that feels every time like a new explosion of the spirit. From records with Thurston Moore and Christian Marclay to Ava Mendoza and James Brandon Lewis, Hooker has built a massive catalogue of these testaments to freedom. Hooker has also built dozens of ever-changing ensembles over the decades, from an orchestra to intimate duos. In them all, he combines restless drumming that speaks to the revelatory early works of Milford Graves with the spoken-word poetry Hooker began writing in California. His work is informed by mysticism and American history, by deep spirituality and family bonds.

MAL DEVISA
Mal Devisa is the songwriting, liberation, and poetry project of multifarious artist Deja Carr. Starting in 2014 and breaking through with 2016's Kiid, Mal Devisa's work spans a self-made spectrum of sound from gravitic, soulful rock to soliloquy to unabashed hip hop. Although known for her unmistakable, smoldering voice and loop-based, bass-forward compositions, Carr's talents also extend to reaches of spoken word and production, paralleled by aspirations to start both a youth foundation and Afrobeat orchestra. Such boundless inspiration is a central facet of Mal Devisa's work, whose sonically and narratively unrestrained passages teem with empathy and liberatory visions for a better world.
