Dahveed Behroozi - Standard Fare [CD]

The music made standards by generations of jazz performers continues to inspire and challenge. A goal of many is to be able to interpret these well-known pieces in a cogent and unique fashion, highlighting an individual style of expression. Pianist Dahveed Behroozi has long hoped to record a solo album of some of the standards that he has had ingrained in his musical memory over the past three decades. His new recording, Standard Fare, allows Behroozi a showcase of his own style through the prism these classics provide. The recording of the music was made at a comfortable pace. Behroozi was able to use a prepared living room with microphoned piano at his leisure for the entire month of January 2023. With this flexibility, he was able to do many takes and whittle down the material into the program on Standard Fare.Dahveed Behroozi's first solo recording, Stardard Fare, allows him to float through the dimensions of his favorite standard compositions.
