Clocking in at 83 minutes in total (depending on the format you're listening to), \"Big Moon\" is as expansive as it is groundbreaking. With a reputation as one of the most innovative composers and drummers of his generation, for those in the know, Hooker does not disappoint on this latest work. Supported by a dynamic group of players which varies throughout the piece, Hooker weaves elements of spiritual and avant-garde jazz with tropical rhythms through eleven movements of the meditative journey that is \"Big Moon\"; a work that should be ingested and contemplated as one body of work. The release was mastered by Dave Gardner at Infrasonic Mastering. The vinyl release, a double LP, comes housed in a gatefold jacket features poetry from William Hooker.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStations of Power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight Speech\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRing-Pass-Not\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMajor Planetary Centres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeven Rays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSequence of the Form\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSynthesis of Understanding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 711574900596\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Org Music\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.17.21\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"William Hooker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58291524042833,"sku":"102760","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/4001165-2737630.jpg?v=1760730180"},{"product_id":"jubilation-lp","title":"Jubilation [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eWilliam Hooker is a musician, composer, and poet with over 70 recordings as a leader, encompassing jazz, new music, experimental music and multi-disciplinary forms of expression (e.g. dance, silent film and spoken word).
