In Outstandards, pianist Eyran Katsenelenbogen presents jazzy renditions of classical cornerstones such as Für Elise (Beethoven) and Mozart’s Piano Sonata in C major alongside jazz classics such as “Tea for Two” (Youmans / Caesar) and “Cheek to Cheek” (Berlin). Katsenelenbogen also revisits on Outstandards Chick Corea’s “Armando’s Rhumba,” which was released on his CD Solotude in 2005 and delivers an intimate performance of “Insensatez (How Insensitive)” (Jobim / De Moraes). Prior to their recording for the CD, all the pieces on Outstandards were performed extensively during Eyran’s concert tours in China in 2014 and 2016.
