Chris Standring
Chris Standring is a British jazz guitarist known for his heavy use of 1970s-style musical nuances. In an illustrious career that stretches back over the last 25 years, Chris has earned a reputation as one of the world’s most virtuosic guitarists, with considerable radio and chart success. And with a catalogue of eighteen solo albums, including the critically acclaimed Blue Bolero from 2010, (spawning the single and #1 Billboard Contemporary Jazz Track of the Year with 'Bossa Blue'), Standring continues to push the boundaries of the format with every new album he releases. Chris has enjoyed twelve number one radio singles in total (eight of his own and four with other artists he has worked with). On September 3rd, 2021, Chris released an ambitious orchestral/trio project entitled Wonderful World, recorded at Abbey Road studio in London, featuring many notable jazz superstars including Randy Brecker, Harvey Mason and Peter Erskine. The project has received rave reviews worldwide. His 2022 album Simple Things gave us the #1 radio hit 'Change the World', and 2023 awaits the super chilled out Lovers Remix Collection, a set of Chris' most popular songs remixed and brought up to date. As We Think, came 2024 and gave the world a Billboard #1 hit with 'Top Hat & Tails'. And now Chris Standring returns in 2026 with a heartfelt eleven song collection of inspired compositions drawing on influences from the golden age.
This retro-soulful set harks back to a familiar, perhaps nostalgic time when sophisticated arrangements and beautiful harmonies were all in fashion. Featuring a topflight four-piece horn section and a vast array of orchestral colors, alongside Chris' unique guitar tones, Time of Change takes you on an invigorating journey from start to finish.
