Our Take

Ted Kooshian's Standard Orbit Quartet takes the listener on a cosmic journey through the wacky world of jazz standards. From the opening track, "Stardust", Kooshian and his band of merry misfits transport us to a new dimension of swing and groove.

The album is a playful exploration of familiar melodies, twisted and turned by Kooshian's inventive arrangements. "Take Five" takes on a whole new life with its unexpected time signature changes, while "Summertime" is reimagined as a bossa nova jam that will have you tapping your toes in no time.

Kooshian's piano playing is a joy to listen to, bouncing effortlessly between playful riffs and soulful solos. His bandmates, including the talented saxophonist and drummer, add layers of depth and texture to each track, creating a rich tapestry of sound that is both engaging and immersive.

Standard Orbit Quartet is a delightful romp through the classics, infused with Kooshian's trademark quirkiness and charm. So sit back, relax, and let the music of Ted Kooshian take you on a journey through the stars (and standards) of jazz. Trust us, you won't want to come back down to earth.
