Paris Smith’s New Composers Ensemble – 53rd Street Ghost
“A killer batch of modern spiritual soul jazz with a classic sound that reminds us a lot of the 70s work on labels like Tribe or Strata East!” – Dusty Groove
53rd Street Ghost, a larger ensemble lays the vibes of the 90s Chicago scene with a great batch of funky jazz tracks, whether it’s the latin tingled ‚Psalm 37‘ or the themic ‚The Fun of it All‘ you’ll find joy and mood in this Paris Smith joint from 96. Now available for the first time on vinyl! Comes with new liners-notes and pictures!
