One year after the release of his acclaimed album Standards, Yotam Silberstein—one of the leading jazz guitarists of his generation—continues his journey with Standards, Vol. 2, recorded during the same prolific studio session. He is once again joined by an extraordinary trio: NEA Jazz Master Billy Hart on drums, jazz legend John Patitucci on bass, and the iconic George Coleman, who makes a special guest appearance on one track.

While Silberstein is primarily celebrated for his original compositions, this new chapter sees him once again boldly turning to works penned by others—reimagining classics and shining a light on lesser-known gems of the American Songbook. Through this inspired collection, he reaffirms his singular vision of jazz: one rooted in peace, love, and understanding. In the company of such legendary musicians, Silberstein’s artistry shines more brightly, with unmatched clarity, soul, and purpose—solidifying his place as one of today’s defining voices in contemporary jazz.
