The New Standard is an album by keyboardist Jamie Saft, bassist Steve Swallow and drummer Bobby Previte which was released on the RareNoise label in 2014.
[1] In his review for Allmusic, Thom Jurek notes that "The New Standard delivers a series of memorable modern compositions based on older forms but doesn't revel in nostalgia or irony.
It's obvious from the end result how much these three massively talented players love this music, and it's quite logical how in such an informal setting, they reveal just how much there is to be discovered and learned from in them".
[3] Andy Boeckstaens in London Jazz News wrote "It is hard to believe that Saft, Swallow and Previte have not previously worked together as a unit.
[4] In JazzTimes Mike Shanley observed "Saft proves himself extremely capable in more conventional jazz settings on The New Standard.
