The three core members of The New Standards all come from illustrious Twin Cities bands. Chan Poling (piano) founded the seminal Punk/New Wave band The Suburbs. John Munson (bass) was an original member of Trip Shakespeare and the chart-topping Semisonic. Steve Roehm (vibes) started on drums in the Texas punk outfit Billygoat and the avant-jazz Electropolis. Sensing a lack of interesting jazz trio repertoire beyond the usual “old standards,” they got together originally to play and sing their favorite songs—from every era, particularly post 1960’s pop music—in a stripped-down acoustic setting, making room for solos and arrangements with the freedom of jazz, and yet never fully abandoning the modest soul of pop and rock.
