The New Jazz Standard Project

 

I started singing and playing jazz from a very young age and am in love the feel, the language and prose. But as a jazz singer, it feels as though I’ve sung almost every standard to exhaustion. So I decided to take on the challenge of recreating the feel and language of a standard while also adding something new and different that reflects the time we are in currently.

Below are two original "new standards" I wrote (both music and lyrics). I hope to be able to continue this project!
