Second Street Live Presents – Stanley Jordan

STANLEY JORDAN: Masters & Legends Series The story of virtuoso guitarist Stanley Jordan’s discovery and rise to international acclaim is legendary as is his revolutionary playing technique. At 23 the Princeton Graduate was performing on the streets of New York City dazzling passers-by with an absolutely incredible two-handed touch and tapping technique. No one had ever before seen a guitarist with the ability to execute a walking bass line, a rhythmic accompaniment and a soaring lead line all at the same time! Word began to spread, and before long Jordan was opening for Wynton Marsalis at Avery Fisher Hall, then appearing at the Montreux Jazz Festival, and finally headlining a week at the Village Vanguard and appearing on National Televison. By the time his major label debut Magic Touch was released in 1985, Stanley Jordan had been firmly established as one of music’s most creative innovators and brightest new stars. He is a true Master and Legend. Limited number of Meet the Artist Reception tickets available through the Box Office.   Second Street Live is located at 101 North 2nd Avenue in Fort Smith, Arkansas. http://www.secondstreetlive.com
