Chris Standring plays the Iridium in Manhattan on January 21. The listing bills him alone and classifies the performance as contemporary jazz; no accompanying musicians, guest appearance, special program, release event, tribute, or other set details are announced. It is an all-ages evening in the Iridium’s room for close listening, whose history includes a longstanding connection to guitarist Les Paul.
The available information identifies Chris Standring as the evening’s act, but gives no supported biographical detail beyond the contemporary-jazz billing. It does not say where he is from, what instrument he plays, whether he will perform solo or with a band, what recordings or projects he is known for, or which musicians he has played with. No reviewers’ comments are provided either. For this date, the useful certainty is a Chris Standring set at the Iridium, with the rest of the musical picture left unannounced.
