On the heels of glowing reviews from national press, widespread streaming and radio play, and sold-out touring across the U.S., New York pianist Noah Haidu releases Standards III (Infinite Distances) on June 6, 2025.
The album continues Haidu’s collaboration with Buster Williams and Billy Hart and debuts an impressive new band featuring Gervis Myles and Charles Goold.
Special guests Steve Wilson, Peter Washington and Lewis Nash featured on one track.
“He has developed his own compelling brand of pianism,” declares The Wall Street Journal. Recent work has been hailed as “extraordinary” by Jazz Magazine, “really beautiful” by National Public Radio, and “stunning” by DownBeat. Indeed, it seems that audiences have caught up to the praise long bestowed upon this important voice in jazz – a multi-dimensional artist who combines modernism, soul, and swing into his own singular style.
“three masters of the craft of trio playing, conjuring magic” (Jazzwise).
Transcending expectations at every turn, Haidu “by now has his own unique approach…sounding buoyant and free, like a pent-up spirit released.” (Wall Street Journal).
