The Standards Project was formed out of Musicmatters School in Colombo, where its members first played together as part of the school’s ensemble before becoming a dedicated band. All members were born and raised in Matara with the exception of the vocalist. The group is committed to offering audiences an authentic jazz sound, performing a rich repertoire of jazz standards along with a few original compositions.

They have performed at leading hospitality venues, music festivals, and private events across Sri Lanka, including a special collaboration with Afro-Cuban duo Iroko Saisa during their time in Sri Lanka. The Standards Project brings a passion for improvisation and collaboration to every performance.
