Our Take

Jamie Saft, Steve Swallow, and Bobby Previte have come together to create The New Standard, an album that pushes the boundaries of jazz conventions and challenges the listener to think outside the box.

From the opening track, "Cracked Ice," it's clear that these three musicians are not content to simply stick to the traditional jazz sound. Saft's innovative keyboard work blends effortlessly with Swallow's intricate bass lines and Previte's dynamic drumming, creating a sonic landscape that is as unpredictable as it is exhilarating.

Throughout the album, the trio takes familiar jazz standards and reimagines them in new and exciting ways. Tracks like "Speak Low" and "My Ideal" are given fresh life with inventive arrangements and unexpected twists and turns.

But what truly sets The New Standard apart is the chemistry between Saft, Swallow, and Previte. It's clear that these three musicians have a deep understanding of each other's playing styles, allowing them to effortlessly bounce ideas off each other and create truly innovative music.

In a world where so much jazz can feel formulaic and uninspired, The New Standard is a breath of fresh air. It's a reminder that jazz is a living, breathing genre that can still surprise and delight listeners. So grab a drink, sit back, and let Jamie Saft, Steve Swallow, and Bobby Previte take you on a musical journey unlike any other. You won't regret it.
