Steve Reich, Jaga Jazzist, John Hollenbeck
John Ghost (Gent, BE), het sextet rond gitarist/componist Jo De Geest, put invloeden uit zowel jazz, rock als hedendaags klassiek.
Minimalisme, elektronica en een filmisch karakter typeren hun instrumentale muziek.
John Ghost is ingenieus én toegankelijk, vaak omschreven als een symbiose tussen de klanken van Steve Reich, Nils Frahm en Jaga Jazzist.
Op 27 september 2019 verscheen hun tweede album, ‘Airships Are Organisms’, via Sdban Ultra. Hierin werd de band begeleid door Jørgen Træen, producer van o.a. de Noorse elektro-jazz groep Jaga Jazzist, Kaizers Orchestra, Hubro en Sondre Lerche.
