Nice to see you around again by the way.
It's children singing old spirituals. The Child Development Group of Mississippi was founded by a Head Start grant (thus the name of the album) as a day care center for children of civil rights workers and activists living in the state. It's one of the many wonderful Smithsonian Folkways releases.

What you're looking for is the Baroque Jazz Trio's self-titled and Chainsaw Jazz's DisConcerto on the more obscure side of things, and if you want something completely ridiculously loud and more "jazz-inspired noise rock" go for Midori's あらためまして、はじめまして、ミドリです。.

Also, working on this beast right now:
