John Ghost Ghent, Belgium
John Ghost is ingenious and exploratory, often described as a symbiosis between the sounds of Steve Reich, John Hollenbeck,
Nils Frahm and Jaga Jazzist.
Created around the Ghent guitarist and composer Jo De Geest, the Belgian sextet draw on influences from jazz, rock and post-classical music, where minimalism, electronics and a cinematic atmosphere characterize their instrumental music.

Delicious ear candy. Like BADBADNOTGOOD with a heavy trap influence. Big brass sound on 500 gr. alone got me to buy this album, but the rest is equally as tasty.

Adventurous hybrid jazz at its best. I struggle to describe why this stands out above a crowd, but... It all sounds so precise. Every instrument fills its own space so that, as busy as it gets, it never feels crowded. It breathes easy while full of energy. In case I'm not making sense, this, in short, is brilliant. Added bonus that the vocal track doesn't stand out negatively as those too often do on otherwise instrumental albums. Heavy rotation, and the best jazz-related album of 2022.

This album takes you somewhere else right from the first bars. I hear strong Israeli influences in almost all tracks. The way they're seamlessly combined with Indian and Arabic instrumentation reminds of the great band Sheva, especially their album Celestial Wedding. But it's more jazzy. Also Armenian Navy Band came to my mind somewhere. Really beautiful sound, too. Vinyl highly recommended.
