JC Sandford’s Imminent Standards Trio CD Release

JC Sanford, most known for his edgy original compositions on previous projects like Pyramid Scheme and Keratoconus, will release his first jazz standards recording as a leader with Imminent Standards Trio, Vol. I on July 23, 2021 on Shifting Paradigm Records. Funded by a MN State Arts Board Creative Support Grant, the album is intended to represent JC’s pre-Covid regular gig at Imminent Brewing in his hometown of Northfield, MN. Recorded safely distanced and isolated, the widely varied ten tracks display the group’s mirthful interplay as well as deep swinging and grooving. In addition to Sanford on trombone, the album features Jeff Bailey on bass and Phil Hey on drums and is available here.
