In the world where jazz takes center stage, the question of what can be considered jazz sometimes arises.

The standard repertoire of jazz sets the standard. Inspired by this quote, harpist Stina Hellberg Agback, along with bassist Filip Augustsson and drummer Jon Falt, has recorded an album where jazz standards take center stage.
