High Standards CD (2005)
 $11.39
New or complex material can mask weaknesses, while the familiarity of a tune like "Body and Soul" makes it a more transparent test of fundamental musicianship. No matter how much technique players have at their disposal, how much harmonic theory is under their fingers, how intense their energy or how clever the formal tricks whittled into their original compositions, playing a standard is like swallowing truth serum. Ask them to play a standard. For a distribution discount on sales of 10 CDs or more, please email:michael.kocour@asu.eduWant a good look into the soul of a group of jazz musicians? If you can't improvise with true melodic and harmonic integrity, if you can't swing, if you can't shape a performance with narrative cohesion, spontaneity and an authoritative command of the vernacular, a standard will set the record straight after only a few choruses. There is no place to hide.Still, a program of standards runs the risk of atrophying into nostalgia, and the ghosts of the giants have little patience for musicians whose greatest talent is a gift for regurgitating their record collections.
