Joseph Omicil Jr
, a.k.a.
Jowee Omicil
, is a Haitian-Canadian jazz musician. He has worked in the past with artists such as
Roy Hargrove
,
Pharoah Sanders
,
Tony Allen
,
Kenny Garrett
,
Jacob Desvarieux
,
Glen Ballard
,
Harold Faustin
,
Michel Martell
, etc. He hosted
Quincy Jones
' 85th birthday celebration at Montreux Festival. On his new album, Spiritual Healing: Bwa Kayiman Freedom Suite, Jowee performs his ancestors' revolution in his own way. Jowee brought together all his inner tubes, soprano, alto, tenor, wood, clarinets, piccolo flute, cornet, that blows, that winds, that rumbles. This record is an incantation, a therapy, it cleanses the world by drawing on the fantasized memory of the Haitian revolution. There are Freedom Suites by
Sonny Rollins
,
Max Roach
and others. Prayer music, music to break the chains in your head and on your wrists, music of black power and white magic. For Jowee, a kid from Montreal, son of a Haitian pastor, who sang Jesus in all the tones, and then
Michael Jackson
, and then
2Pac
, who learned jazz from
Ornette Coleman
, the ceremony necessarily has the taste of free. This record is a healing hour-long improvisation.
