The New Standards

THE NEW STANDARDS.  The New Standards is a “revelatory” (Star Tribune) Twin-Cities-based trio with a global following.  Sensing a lack of interesting jazz trio repertoire beyond the usual “old standards,” they got together originally to play and sing their favorite songs—from every era, particularly post 1960’s pop music—in a stripped-down acoustic setting, making room for solos and arrangements with the freedom of jazz, and yet never fully abandoning the modest soul of pop and rock.  Stoughton Opera House, 381 Main St., Stoughton.  7:30pm.  Tickets $30.
