Wonderful World

Although you can hear echoes of George Benson, Grant Green and Pat Martino in his deceptively simple style, Chris Standring's mellifluous sound is unmistakable. In an illustrious career that stretches back over the last 25 years, Chris Standring has earned a reputation as one of the world's most virtuosic guitarists, yet whatever musical waters he has dived into, he has never quite managed to shake off the perception that he is a 'pop' jazz artist. Although he has always focused solely on the music rather than the pigeonholes people have put him in, in many ways, this is the record he was destined to make from the very moment he first picked up a guitar. Growing up in Buckinghamshire, he was introduced to orchestral music by his mother, who adored Beethoven and Schubert. Whilst he has enjoyed huge success in the contemporary jazz world, he had always dreamed of releasing an album of standards. After cutting a demo in Los Angeles, his fantasy finally came to fruition when he enlisted some of the world's finest jazz musicians and recorded the orchestra live in Studio Two at Abbey Road in London.
