“Book of Unstandards” is a collection of 129 scores and poems written by Chris Chalfant over the past thirty years. This one-of-a-kind book and CD show the breadth and diversity of Chalfant’s music. One cannot easily pigeon-hole her work, evidenced in this document of enormous creative output, which shows her diversity of styles, genres and levels of complexity. “Book of Unstandards” is an empowering anthology of music for the performer in much the same way that jazz’s body of standard repertoire serves as a mere, yet vital, outline to individualistic, expressive performance. Like every important composer in jazz and the classical world, Chalfant has tapped into the essence of song, which never lets the actual composition get in the way of the music.” Dmitri Ekshtut, JazzImprov Magazine
