Yuxiang Zhang (guitar and effects), Umberto Odone (drums)
"Standard Deviation" is a duo of two friends that wants to find different paths of expression in the so noble, and as well challenging, art of playing standards.
In Jazz, "Standard" is a composition that is part of the musical repertoire of jazz musicians; a very much known, performed, and recorded material by jazz musicians, as well as known by jazz listeners.
Getting rid of the classic trio (or more) formation, the duo forces himself to go out out of the canonic ways to play this repertoire.
The arrangemets infact are made and thought for a formation that has deficit in low frequencies, since is missing the ground that the bass usually provides.
From here rise a variation in the research, just like a Standard Deviation in Statistics: a measure of the amount of variation of a set of values.
Original songs are also part of the duo's repertoire.
