Jazz In The Parlor presents Solo Guitar with SPECIAL Guest Stanley Jordan

Join STANLEY JORDAN for an intimate evening of STOLEN MOMENTS, guitar magic and a CORNUCOPIA of musical vibrations that will rock and soothe your soul with THE BEST OF STANLEY JORDAN, winner of the 'Best Album of the Year' Award from the College Media Journal's New Music Awards.

STANLEY JORDAN brings his MAGIC TOUCH to The Harlem Jazz Gallery, Friday, May 4th 2001. His two-handed pianistic approach has extended the limits of guitar. Whereas many rockers such as Eddie Van Halen primarily embellish their solos with rapid two-handed maneuvers, STANLEY JORDAN plays entire solos and compositions that feature independent voices. At 27, his album Magic Touch topped the Billboard Jazz chart for an astounding 49 weeks.

What STANLEY JORDAN does with his revolutionary touch technique defies belief. Using both hands on the fingerboard to tap out fully independent chords, bass lines, and melodies, the then 26-year-old Princeton graduate expanded the guitar's boundaries into areas once the sole province of keyboardists. Few players in the history of music have brought an instrument to a more radical crossroad. Click here: Interview
