Chris Standring, one of the most lyrical guitarists in contemporary jazz, takes his music to exciting new places with his fourth solo CD, Soul Express. Fusing his groovy, retro guitar licks with healthy doses of sexy R&B and cool chill music, Standring has created irresistibly hook-filled music that also puts his amazing dexterity with the guitar on full display. "I wanted to step up to the plate as a musician while still keeping the vibe fans know me for," he says. "This record is more about me as a soloist, while with the others it was important to get a particular groove rather than me playing great jazz."
