'Sauce Buffet' is the debut solo album by Matt Jalbert, best recognized as the guitarist for progressive jamband TAUK. With this release, Jalbert steps confidently into the spotlight, channeling a hypnotic blend of psychedelic textures, deep-pocket funk, and jazz-inflected guitar work. The album evokes the exploratory energy of acts like Glass Beams, Khruangbin, and Polyrhythmics, while putting Jalbert's own distinctive guitar voice front and center. It's a mood-forward instrumental album that invites listeners on a cerebral, groove-laced journey. Known for his intricate fretwork and improvisational instincts with TAUK, 'Sauce Buffet' showcases a more cinematic, genre-fluid side-effortlessly bridging modern jazz-funk with psychedelic rock. The album previews a bold new chapter for the Denver-based guitarist.
