No one will ever embody the concept of music as spiritual sustenance the way that Pharoah Sanders did.  William Hooker heard the call through the music and it changed his life.  William joins Mitch Goldman to remember this enduring moment of inspiration and to explore the WKCR archives.  Jewels abound.  

 

The Pharoah Sanders Memorial Broadcast is all day Monday 9/26.  This segment is 6pm to 9pm on WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR  HD-1 and wkcr.org.  Next week it goes up on the Deep Focus podcast on your favorite podcasting app or at https://mitchgoldman.podbean.com/
