The Arch Stanton Quartet, based in upstate New York, performs original jazz that is experimental, yet rooted in bop and post-bop traditions. Their debut album, Along For The Ride, was released in November 2012 on WEPA Records. In March 2013 the band was named Best Local Jazz Band in the Metroland Readers Poll and embarked on a tour of Egypt, performing at the Cairo Jazz Festival and other gigs. That same year, the band opened up for Charlie Hunter and Oleta Adams at the Albany Riverfront Jazz Festival. Drawing from their experiences in Egypt, the group, in October 2014, released a 9-song sophomore album, Blues For Soli (also on WEPA Records), which includes a suite of music directly influenced by their Egypt tour. The band has been a regular fixture of the Capital Region jazz club scene. It is currently planning material for its third album, which will include a suite of compositions inspired by Ralph Ellison’s novel “Invisible Man” and other original pieces.
