Latest release – Power of 10 celebrates ten years of touring and recording for New York Standards Quartet. Next week on Thursday 28th April the band will be celebrating with a special show at  Smalls Jazz Club in New York featuring Tim Armacost (saxophones), David Berkman (piano), Ugonna Okegwo (double bass), Gene Jackson (drums) and with guest Michael Janisch.

“Don’t let the ‘standards’ part throw you. Their approach to the songbook is neither safe nor complacent . . . They do indeed play with the casual tightness of a group that has been around the world a few times together . . .”

“Beauty in the familiar: That’s the overarching theme of this elegant new album by the New York Standards Quartet, a bold, forward-looking ensemble . . .The album, which celebrates the group’s 10-year anniversary as a working outfit, features an attractive mix of heady originals, refreshing contrefacts and smartly arranged standards-all united by the group’s shared affinity for muscular groove and searing, thoughtful melody.”
