Standring, who the London Times has cited as one of the most talented jazz guitarists, introduced the Soul Express bill in 2006, when he took the tour out with Jody Whatley and Jeff Lorber. The 2007 Soul Express line up featured Whatley and Everette Harp. Love and Paragraphs, which was released in April of 2008, features guest performances from both Lorber and Harp, and maintains the seductive vibe that is the trademark of every Soul Express live performance throughout its ten tracks. Smooth Jazz Therapy called the CD one of the sensations of the year, and Smooth Jazz News praised it for its catchy hooks and sublime electric guitar In addition to his upcoming shows with Soul Express, Standring will tour in the US and UK throughout the year in support of the CDs release.
