Heart of the Ghost

Jarrett Gilgore - alto saxophone and clarinet Luke Stewart - upright bass Ian McColm - drums "For the past two years, few improvisation units have been as omnipresent in the D.C. area as Heart of the Ghost. For good reason: The trio of alto saxophonist Jarrett Gilgore, bassist Luke Stewart, and percussionist Ian McColm is something of a trinity of the finest free jazz improvisers in the region. If you've seen Heart of the Ghost in concert, then you know—Gilgore, Stewart, and McColm's performances feel like a kind of séance, with the trio locked into a musical conversation with one another. It's a language that has a "you had to be there" feel to it, which would seemingly make it difficult to translate onto recordings."
