Stanley Jordan

Stanley Jordan was widely seen as the most original guitarist of his generation when he walked away from recording for over a decade. Jordan triumphantly returns with State of Nature, a work that uses environmental themes as a launch pad for experimenting with originals, jazz standards ("All Blues," "Song for My Father," and "Insensatez"), classical music, new age, pop covers ("Steppin' Out") and beyond. Jordan is such a technical virtuoso that he can play guitar and piano at the same time, but what is more important is that this is music with real heart and plenty of soul.
