Chris Standring

Chris Standring is one of the most prolific and successful artists on the contemporary urban jazz scene, with 14 Billboard top ten hits under his belt. With the release of his rhythmically eclectic, sonically progressive yet nostalgia filled 18th full length album Time of Change, the veteran guitarist celebrates a remarkable 30 years since he and keyboardist Rodney Lee dropped Solar System, an innovative dual project whose expansive, soul driven sounds gave rise to one of contemporary jazz’s most impactful, stylistically diverse, careers, starting with the release of his 1998 solo debut Velvet and its breakthrough radio hit “Cool Shades”.
