Chris Standring: Wonderful World

Read "Wonderful World" reviewed by Richard J Salvucci

Read "Ten" reviewed by Jeff Winbush


Eight years have passed since Chris Standring's Love and Paragraphs (Ultimate Vibe, 2008) when he last met expectation as a seasoned, if not splashy smooth jazz guitar slinger.
