Standards & Stories, the new album by legendary Brazilian guitarist, composer, and vocalist Toninho Horta, marks a unique moment in his career - his first and only recording sung entirely in English.

Produced and arranged with longtime collaborator Sandro Albert, the album is Toninho's heartfelt tribute to the Great American Songbook. Recorded in New York, it blends his unmistakable harmonic language, nylon string guitar tone, and lush orchestral textures with timeless standards reimagined through a Brazilian jazz lens.

With Standards & Stories, Toninho Horta honors the American tradition while reshaping it through the rich colors and lyricism of Brazilian music - a timeless dialogue between two musical worlds.
