Smooth Jazz musician, Chris Standring just announced he will perform on September 11 for a special fundraiser concert to be held at Sierra Madre Elementary Auditorium at 141 West Highland Avenue, Sierra Madre. This latest supporter of the event’s dual fundraising efforts soared to #1 on the Jazz charts since his sixth album was released in March, 2010.
Standring plans to perform his “Blue Bolero” album, critically acclaimed as a musical masterpiece with cinematic quality, in its entirety with his jazz orchestra on Sept. 11.
Standring has become a fixture on the contemporary jazz touring scene, performing solo dates and with package attractions such as the popular Guitars and Saxes.
Standring stays busy with touring and recording new music and he’s known for his spirit of giving back to fellow musicians. With this in mind, he founded A&R Online (AandRonline.com), a place for aspiring musicians to get their music heard and to learn about the industry.
“To our great delight, Chris has stepped forward to give back to the community in a different way, by donating his performance here at Taste of Sierra Madre” says event chair, Tom Brady.
“The funds raised at this concert will help many children receive life changing cleft palate surgery through the volunteer medical teams at Rotaplast, www.Rotaplast.org.”
Tickets are now on sale for A Taste of Sierra Madre, to be held Saturday, September 11, in the town’s Kersting Court. The event, which runs 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. that day, will feature delectable samples of the best of Sierra Madre food music and fine arts plus spotlight local childrens’ achievements in the arts and essay contests as well as music. An array of musical “tastes” will come from professional as well as student musicians throughout the day’s program at Kersting Court first, then at the Headliners Concert.

We are so fortunate to host Chris Standring and his eight jazz musicians who will perform “Blue Bolero” in its entirety in a 500 seat auditorium in Sierra Madre at SME. This is the “Sgt. Pepper album of 2010″ for us in the smooth jazz world.
Check out Chris’ bio and long haul from the London School of Music to his ascent to the #1 position on Billboard. This is a cinematic musical masterpiece.
