In 2011 a secret CD was released quietly as one member of the recording was unable to step into the limelight without putting his full-time day gig at risk. Well he has moved on and the rest is history now but the music is one of the best sounds I have ever helped to create.

The Jazz Phantoms is just that a secret recording released in September last year and has a sound like that early 70's cool jazz style that smacks of Weather Report, Chick Chorea, and even strains of classic Wayne Shorter can be pulled from the melodies. Reed has moved on now, or should I say gone back to the shadows of his daytime meal ticket. The rest of the band has moved forward and will be present and up front in the latest Steven Gauci offering due in mid-2012.

For now enjoy the sounds of Raspberry Jam by The Jazz Phantoms. check out the samples of several tracks by clicking here.
