Clap! Clap! follows his 2014 full-length debut, Tayi Bebba, with an EP of sizzling world beats as indebted to the Inuit peoples of Alaska as to the staccato footwork of Chicago, featuring traditional Italian folk rhythms and melodies mixed with a global harvest of found sounds smashed through an electronic beat machine mind-state. With all these disparate influences it would be easy to lose form and style, but this fully-fledged jazz practitioner adds his own unique gait to each track. The Simple EP is a return to the basics -- brave, exciting music for your carnival.
