About this album

Ghosts is a refined jazz-rock crossover that brings Barbara Thompson’s fluid saxophone writing together with Rod Argent’s melodic keyboard sensibility. Issued in 1982, the album sits comfortably between jazz, rock and jazz-funk, with a polished, accessible feel that never loses its improvisational edge. Thompson and Argent give the music a distinctive balance of lyricism and drive, shaping material that moves from the spectral title track to the more reflective pieces with ease. It stands as a strong example of early-1980s British fusion, where strong tunes and instrumental detail are given equal weight.
