Chris Combs - Run Down the Ghost (2023) Hi Res

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.
