《Yowzers》是芝加哥作曲家、即兴演奏家、乐器演奏家和音乐民俗学家本·拉马尔·盖伊的新专辑。这张包含十二首曲目的合辑是盖伊录音作品词汇的一次飞跃，也是古老身体内部节奏和直觉旋律叙事的真正杰作。
值得一提的是，对盖伊来说，取得进步并非易事。过去十年里，无论是作为乐队领袖还是合作者，他所涵盖的音乐领域都极为广泛。他的正式首张专辑——2018年的合辑《市中心的城堡永远无法阻挡太阳》，通过将来自七张当时未发行专辑的十五首风格多样的曲目放在一起，向世界正式介绍了盖伊，让库克县以外的人们了解到芝加哥人早已惊叹许久的一个无意之中保守得最好的秘密。从那以后，这个秘密变得更加公开，七张此前未发行的专辑全面揭晓，他2021年广受好评的组歌《张开双臂拥抱我们》发行，2022年《Certain Reveries》中爆发的自由音色也得以呈现。
除了在数量惊人的International Anthem发行作品中亮相（包括马卡亚·麦克雷文、杰米·布兰奇、达蒙·洛克斯、伊贝利斯·瓜迪亚·费拉古蒂和弗兰克·罗萨利的专辑），盖伊还是当今创意音乐领域最多产的合作者之一。他积极为迈克·里德的分离主义政党、约书亚·艾布拉姆斯的自然信息社会、西斯特·盖茨的黑修士等众多项目做出贡献。他也是芝加哥传奇的创意音乐家促进协会的长期参与者。可以说，他的资历令人惊叹，兴趣和能力的范围似乎是无限的，而《Yowzers》代表了他不断扩展的创作边界的最新重新划定。
《Yowzers》上的大部分音乐以他的工作四重奏为特色，成员包括托马索·莫雷蒂（鼓、打击乐器、人声）、马修·戴维斯（大号、钢琴、钟声、人声）和威尔·法伯（吉他、恩戈尼琴、钟声、人声）。但这里未列出的特色是盖伊自己召唤和释放合作者独特优势的能力。四重奏的材料倾向于该团体在几年一起巡演过程中发展起来的词汇；曲目提供了令人瞩目的脉动和自由节奏的混合，不知何故与一系列旋律短语一起摇摆，这些旋律短语以客厅家庭歌曲的怀旧回声扫过和声的外围。

Yowzers is a new album by Chicago composer, improvisor, instrumentalist and musical folklorist Ben LaMar Gay. The twelve track collection is a leap forward in the lexicon of Gay’s recorded output, and a veritable masterwork of ancient inner-body rhythms and intuitive melodic storytelling.
It’s worth mentioning that a leap forward for Gay is no small feat. The musical ground he has covered in the last decade, both as a bandleader and collaborator, is immense. His de facto debut album—the 2018 compilation Downtown Castles Can Never Block The Sun—properly introduced the world to Gay by placing fifteen stylistically diverse tracks from seven then-unreleased albums next to one another, letting the populace outside of Cook County in on an unintentionally best-kept-secret that Chicagoans had already been marveling at for quite some time. That secret has become even more open in the years since, with the full unveiling of those seven previously-unreleased albums, the release of his critically-acclaimed 2021 song cycle Open Arms To Open Us, and the explosive free sonics of 2022’s Certain Reveries.
In addition to being featured on a staggering number of International Anthem releases (including albums by Makaya McCraven, jaimie branch, Damon Locks, Ibelisse Guardia Ferragutti & Frank Rosaly), Gay is one of the most prolific collaborators in creative music today. He makes active contributions to Mike Reed’s Separatist Party, Joshua Abrams’s Natural Information Society, Theaster Gates’s Black Monks, and many more. He is also a long-time participant in Chicago’s legendary Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians. Suffice to say, his credentials are astonishing and the scope of his interests and abilities is seemingly limitless, with Yowzers representing the latest redrawing of that ever-expanding creative borderline.
Much of the music on Yowzers features his working quartet with Tommaso Moretti (drums, percussion, voice), Matthew Davis (tuba, piano, bells, voice), and Will Faber (guitar, ngoni, bells, voice). But the unlisted feature here is Gay’s own ability to summon and unleash the unique strengths of his collaborators. The quartet material leans into a vocabulary that the group has developed over the course of several years together on the road; and the repertoire delivers an arresting cocktail of pulsing and free rhythms that somehow swing alongside a gathering of melodic phrases that sweep the outer-reaches of harmony with nostalgic echoes of family songs from the living room.
