Ghost-Note is far more than just a band; it's a genuine musical laboratory founded by Robert "Sput" Searight and Nate Werth, both distinguished percussionists with Snarky Puppy. Born from the effervescence of the Dallas, Texas music scene, Searight and Werth created Ghost-Note with the ambition to push the boundaries of jazz and funk, incorporating elements of hip-hop, world music, and rock. Their albums, such as "Swagism" or "Mustard n'Onions", are manifestos of this fusion, demonstrating impressive instrumental mastery and an ability to create irresistible grooves that have become their signature. The band is recognized for its organic approach to composition, where improvisation and interaction between musicians play a central role.

Ghost-Note's style is characterized by powerful and complex rhythmics, driven by the duo of drummers/percussionists, and deep, funky bass lines. Added to this are catchy melodies and inspired improvisations, often carried by brilliant brass and inventive keyboards. The band continues in the lineage of great fusion ensembles that have marked music history, while bringing a touch of modernity and contagious energy. Their compositions are genuine sonic journeys, where each instrument finds its place in constant dialogue, creating a rich and dynamic texture. It's music that invites both dancing and attentive listening, revealing new subtleties with each play.

Ghost-Note's live reputation is well-established. Their concerts are intense and immersive experiences where the band's energy instantly transmits to the audience. The musicians, all virtuosos in their field, communicate palpable joy in playing, transforming each performance into collective celebration. New Morning, an emblematic jazz venue in Paris, is the ideal setting for hosting this formation.
