Trying to describe Stanley Jordan in simple terms is like trying to explain Einstein's Theory of Relativity in ten words or less. You can do it, but you'd leave a lot out. Best known as a guitarist who has made major technical and musical contributions to his instrument, he has made a name for himself as one of the significant guitarists of the latter 20th century. Using a technique called "Touch" or "Tapping", he achieves a level of orchestral complexity equaling that of a keyboard instrument. He can sound like two or three guitarists at the same time. But what has become more and more apparent is that he has the musicianship and creativity to match the startling technique. Stanley Jordan plays with an uncommon depth of feeling. Many who see him perform for the first time are struck by the emotional intensity of his playing. There are times when he seems totally immersed in the music. As a listener, it is hard not to be affected by this feeling. Few contemporary artists can match his mix of passion, sensitivity and sheer brilliance.
