Molly Joyce, an artist motivated by and through and because of disability, an artist with “serene power” (The New York Times)—one of the “most versatile, prolific, and intriguing composers working under the vast new-music dome” (The Washington Post)—releases her new work, Perspective, on New Amsterdam Records. At the age of seven, Joyce’s left hand was nearly amputated in a car accident. After two decades of rejecting the label, Joyce now proudly identifies as disabled, using her impaired left hand to play her vintage toy organ, an instrument seemingly custom-built for her impairment, with “superb effect” (The Wire). On Perspective, Joyce moves beyond her own disability to highlight voices of the wider disabled community—both literally and figuratively.

The albums of the Felczak Records series communicate with music, the most universal language, to demonstrate the friendship between the Polish and Hungarian nations, which is nourished by emotions, thoughts and shared values rooted in the historical past. A real specialty of the record is that the listener might be able to guess what the contribution of the Hungarian pianist and that of the Polish trumpet player is. The courageous lines and bends of Wojtasik on the one hand, his rooty melodies that may in the next moment reveal melancholy, and a rich and colourful harmonic foundation laid down with ease avoiding carefully to sound blatant from the hands of Oláh on the other.

He also frequently shifts genre and influence, drawing on his background in rock, metal, punk, pop, americana, reggae, blues, jazz, and fusion to keep the album inspiring and interesting.
