The New Standards

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The New Standards is a minimalist jazz trio composed of John Munson (of Semisonic), Chan Poling (of The Suburbs) and Steve Roehm (of Rhombus). With Munson on bass, Poling on piano and Roehm on vibraphone, the band reinterprets songs from a wide variety of genres, from classics like Rodgers & Hammerstein's "My Favorite Things" to "London Calling" by The Clash.

In October of 2005, the band released a self-titled album produced by another member of Semisonic, Dan Wilson.
