Noah Haidu - Standards III (2025)

Noah Haidu’s Standards Trio has played the top jazz venues from New York to LA, and will be out on the road from coast to coast and in key European cities throughout 2025. The new album Standards III continues Noah’s critically acclaimed collaboration with legends Buster Williams (bass) and Billy Hart (drums) while debuting an equally impressive new band featuring bassist Gervis Myles and drummer Charles Goold. The two trios explore imaginative interpretations, contemporary influences, and grooves so deep you could fall into them. Haidu’s clear, light touch renders variations on themes composed or inspired by Thad Jones, Richard Rodgers, Sammy Cahn, Dinah Washington, and Jerome Kern. Popular artists Chappell Roan and Stevie Wonder provide additional source material and inspiration, while the original “Slipstream,” a striking reinterpretation of the title track from Haidu’s debut album, holds its own alongside any standard. Steve Wilson, Peter Washington, and Lewis Nash also join Haidu for this bracing rhythmic and harmonic tour de force. Whether collaborating with his elders or his peers, Standards III cements Haidu’s legacy leading arguably “the best trio performing today” (Robert Nicosia, Musicman Blog).
