Was well known in Detroit for their art gallery, live music venue and record label, turning out records by artists like Kenny Cox and Lyman Woodard. The Lyman Woodard Organization's Saturday Night Special (1975) is perhaps the jewel of the label, but the LP that was to follow - Cox's unreleased Clap Clap! The Joyful Noise, is at the same time radical and sublime. It's a visionary work, inspired by both the innocence and zeal of his 3-year-old son, Philip, and also the culture of Latin America and Caribbean lands Cox admits in the album's original liner notes that, "oddly enough... I've never seen. " The title track, "Clap Clap! The Joyful Noise" is a frolicking bossa groove awash in the gentle sound of waves one can imagine lapping against the shores of Brazil's Praia da Fazenda, or perhaps the Taipus de Fora.
