Description

Singer Janna Nelson and pianist Scott Hooker, along with their group, Standard Deviation, present their unique take on some of the vast material that comprises The Great American Songbook. This includes some of the most important and influential American popular songs and jazz standards from the early 20th century. These popular and enduring tunes from the 1920s to the 1950s were created for Broadway theatre, musical theatre, and Hollywood musical films.

Scott Hooker and Janna Nelson had separate and joined musical careers in Atlanta from the late 1970s until they moved to Albuquerque in 2014. The name of their band, Standard Deviation, reflects their unique take on some of this vast material, from the familiar to the less heard. Jack Hanan will be joining on upright bass.
