About Ghost Jazz Trio

The Ghost Jazz Trio are a three time nominated band for "Best Jazz Album of the Year" 21-22-23, based in San Diego, CA featuring founder/guitarist/composer and producer James Morgan. On the debut album, Invisible Time, James is joined by Aaron Seener and Jack Nathan, and on his next album On the Level, James is joined by renowned bassist and recording artist Nathan Brown, drummer Jack Nathan, pianist Chase Pado and special guest Patrick Yandall on guitar. On the 2022 release "Dreams Above" James features sax-man Andrew Nichols. All of the compositions are written and arranged by James Morgan on all three album. James brought in legendary guitarist Dean Brown to produce his fourth 2023 album Groovin Smooth, released on Guitar One Records. Dean brown co-wrote many of the songs and plays on the album. All four albums debuted in the top 100 smooth jazz charts, with some albums climbing to the number one spot.
James Morgan grew up in northern California and as a teen in the 1970's started listening to Return To Forever and John McLaughlin’s Mahavishnu Orchestra inspiring him to take up playing the guitar. In the late seventies James was fortunate enough to take guitar lessons from Bill Connors of Return To Forever fame. He lived in Santa Cruz, CA and drove to Half Moon Bay weekly to take lessons whereby he formed a close friendship with Bill. James went on to become a bandleader throughout the following decades, writing his own compositions whilst forming various Jazz Fusion bands along the way. More recently he decided he wanted to start writing music that evokes 'emotion and imagery' and created his own genre of music called 'Ambient Jazz' that is both 'relaxing and interesting. James formed the dynamic, and mysteriously named Ghost Jazz Trio, in 2017. Their 2020 debut album entitled 'Invisible Time' was a complex and synergetic production that achieved critical acclaim and outstanding success in a short period of time, culminating in being nominated for 'Best Jazz Album Of The Year' by the 2021 San Diego Music Awards. The album was featured on more than 150 radio station playlists worldwide and climbed to the Top 100 in their Smooth Jazz Global Radio Charts. The second album “On the Level” released in 2021 is an eclectic and spirited journey including elements of vibrant R&B, Smooth Jazz, Funk and Jazz Swing with some complex and intricate jazz arrangements which will demand attention, peak your imagination and raise the awareness of this talented and innovative Southern Californian trio.
Look for the new album "Dreams Above" to release April 2022 with guest artists Chase Pado on piano and smooth jazz recording artist Andrew Nichols on sax.
All of the compositions on the albums were written and arranged by James Morgan.
Look for James Morgan's new solo jazz fusion album with Gary Husband on drums and keyboards and Hadrien Feraud on bass to release in early 2024 on GO Records.
