James Morgan Jazz Trio “On the Level” from the Ghost Jazz Trio at The Roxy Encinitas, CA 02/04/26

Описание: Experience the James Morgan Jazz Trio performing the title track “On the Level” from the Ghost Jazz Trio second album On the Level (2021) — a rich, eclectic blend of smooth jazz, funk, swing, and R&B-infused contemporary jazz that showcases the trio’s deep synergy and musical imagination.

Captured live at The Roxy in Encinitas, CA on February 4, 2026, this performance highlights James Morgan’s fluid, expressive guitar work, supported by the intuitive interplay of Jack Nathan on drums and Lance Jeppesen on bass, bringing the tune’s vibrant groove and melodic narrative to life on stage.

Written, composed, and arranged by Ghost Jazz Trio founder James Morgan, On the Level reflects the group’s signature “West Coast Contemporary Jazz” style — a sound rooted in jazz tradition yet open to bold, modern textures and rhythmic exploration.
