Wayne Alpern is reviewed by Part-Time Audiophile with his new album “Standard Deviation.” Phillips says; “The contemporary jazz scene is almost evenly divided between original compositions and covers from the Great American Songbook. When something falls outside of those two groups, what does that music sound like? I feel like there’s more to this nebulous group than applying jazz fundamentals to songs from other musical genres, but when that happens–for example, in the new Wayne Alpern album Standard Deviation–it immediately stands out from the crowd.”
