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. With a catalog of fourteen solo albums, including the critically acclaimed Blue Bolero from 2010 (which spawned the single and #1 Billboard Contemporary Jazz Track of the Year, “Bossa Blue”), Standring continues to push the boundaries of the format with every new album he releases.

 

Chris has enjoyed ten number-one radio singles in total (seven of his own and three with other artists he has worked with).

 

Standring’s 2024 release, As We Think, is an upbeat, eleven-song, super soulful workout with exotic arrangements and dazzling solos, all wrapped up in Chris’ inimitable contemporary jazz style, earning him another set of singles in the top 10 Smooth Jazz charts.

 

Chris Standring continues to tour the USA and Europe annually, and we are thrilled to have him back for another night of his signature contemporary urban jazz.
