For those unaware, Chris Standring returns in 2026 with a heartfelt eleven song collection of inspired compositions drawing on influences from a golden age.

This retro-soulful set harks back to a familiar, perhaps nostalgic time when sophisticated arrangements and beautiful harmonies where all in fashion. Featuring a top-flight four piece horn section and a vast array of orchestral colors, alongside Chris’ unique guitar tones, Time Of Change takes you on an invigorating journey from start to finish.

Getting married for the first time and the passing of his father have signaled a time of change for Billboard chart-topping contemporary jazz guitarist Chris Standring.

With nostalgia on his mind and life changes shaping the third act of his life, Standring wrote and produced eleven new songs for Time of Change, which arrives on March 20th, 2026 from Ultimate Vibe Recordings.

2. Magnetic

7. A Good Game
8. One Of These Days

This warmly inviting album of 70’s-inspired cool jazz and retro rhythm-and-blues grooves opens on the smoothly low slung ambiance of Photographs which is itself backed by the more upbeat and joyful Magnetic, the all-embracing Slippin’ In These Streets, and then we get both the melodious All The Good Times and the dulcet-grooved Where Were You When.

Along next is the rhythmic, George Benson-esque beauty Hollywood Hustle which itself followed by the laid back, easy going A Good Game, the flavorfully pleasurable One Of These Days and the balanced Remember The Day, the set rounding out on an endearing All That To Say, coming to a close on the sumptuous balladry of A Song For Alistair.
