JAZZ STANDARD DEVIANTS
Jazz Standard Deviants is a jazz duo featuring pianist Larry McDonough and vocalist Barbara Piper. With a playful, expressive, improvisational approach, they bring fresh life to timeless jazz standards. Their repertoire is chosen for its memorable melodies, rich harmonies, and room for creative exploration.
Larry’s inventive piano and Barbara’s expressive vocals create an engaging musical conversation, allowing each performance to unfold in the moment. Rather than simply reproduce familiar songs, they reinterpret these beloved classics and make them distinctly their own.
Rooted in tradition, open to surprise, and always ready to deviate.
