James Morgan Jazz Story
After decades of leading acclaimed jazz fusion projects, award-winning guitarist, composer, and producer James Morgan introduced his signature West Coast Contemporary Jazz sound through the Ghost Jazz Trio, earning multiple consecutive nominations for Best Jazz Album of the Year.
His 2023 release Groovin’ Smooth expanded the project into a dynamic quintet, while the 2024 album A Soul in Time—featuring Gary Husband, Hadrien Feraud, Eric Marienthal, and Joey De Leon—earned the 2025 InterContinental Music Award for Best Contemporary Instrumental Song and recognition on the 67th GRAMMY® Awards ballot.
In 2025, Morgan launched JMJ Records and rebranded his ensemble as James Morgan Jazz. New singles including “Live Love,” “Frequency of Love,” and “West Coast Smooth” showcase his lyrical guitar style, sophisticated compositions, and world-class collaborations.
Today, James Morgan Jazz continues to build an international audience with award-winning contemporary jazz that blends smooth grooves, melodic improvisation, and polished production. Music is available worldwide on major streaming platforms, with downloads and CDs offered through the James Morgan Jazz online store. All Morgan's music is available to stream on your favorite platform and the digital song is available for download in the Music Shop, and the CD is available at this link below: https://store.spinneymedia.com/collections/james-morgan-jazz
2025 Single "Frequency of Love"
