Ghost Rhythms

Having so far self-released three studio efforts, French ensemble Ghost Rhythms present their first live album, and debut Cuneiform release, Live at Yoshiwara, recorded in front of a small audience just before Christmas 2018 at Les Frigos in Paris – in the very room that serves as the setting for their weekly rehearsals. Ghost Rhythms is led by composers, drummer Xavier Gélard and pianist Camille Petit.
