Info zu Run Down the Ghost

After years of touring and recording for other artists, Chris Combs brings his trio into the studio and comes out swinging with a collection of exciting new compositions. The forthcoming EP, Run Down The Ghost, was primarily recorded live in one day at The Closet Studios in Tulsa, OK and showcases the trio's reputation for beautiful tunes and searing improvisations. Additional overdubs from pedal steel guitarist Hank Early (Turnpike Troubadours) and vibraphonist Nick Mancini complete the EP's evolving sonic palate - creating a modern, diverse, jazz-influenced romp through Combs' original works. Though truly modern in its aesthetic, Run Down The Ghost harkens back to the classic album-centric jazz, rock, and psychedelia releases of days gone by. The listener can hear influences spanning genre and era including J Dilla, Bill Frisell, Tortoise, Sly & the Family Stone, Blake Mills, Frank Ocean, and Ornette Coleman.

Chris Combs
the Tulsa-based guitarist, composer, and music producer Chris Combs, who's known for his work with COMBSY, Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey, and other jazz/experimental/multi-genre outfits. Combs tells us about (and shares tracks from) his forthcoming album, "Roche Blave: Large Ensemble Works Recorded Live in Switzerland," which will be released by the nonprofit Horton Records on April 30th. This recording documents a remarkable, hitherto-unreleased "live" performance from 2012, for which Combs was commissioned to write music for an international jazz festival in Bern, Switzerland. As Combs tells us, his writing for this concert was very much inspired by the jazz-meets-classical compositions of Charles Mingus, Duke Ellington, Ornette Coleman, and others.
