released in 2020, detachment from existenceThe JOYFULTALK Project’s third album by composer and multi-instrumentalist Jay Crocker sounds a lot wise compared to its chaos and fun. Familiar science. Gone are the simple, rich synthetic sounds of the first albums, and the rigor of repetitive beats. Make way for free jazz spontaneity, jazz-fusion acrobatics, unpredictability, and explosion! Claiming to be inspired by Ornette Coleman (and perhaps a bit of Uzeb, in guitar motifs from the body pebble opening and title track), Crocker and his group of musicians from the Calgary scene (with the exception of Nicola Miller, saxophonist, lyrically beautiful on Ballad in 9) offers a plentiful blend of mash-up-fed experimental rock and jazz, alternating spiritual harmony enhanced by choruses and blasts of percussion and deafening guitars, as in Particle riot And the hagiography at the end of the album. In a concert on June 14, 9:30 p.m., he turned the bill at the Suoni Per Il Popolo Festival.
