Celebrated guitar virtuoso and three time Grammy nominee Stanley Jordan has been called one of the “slickest jazz guitarists around”. His development of the tapping technique for guitar (which allows the guitarist to play melody and chords simultaneously, like a piano) has made him legendary in jazz circles. He has consistently shown himself to be a musical visionary from the moment he electrified listeners with 1985's gold record Magic Touch to today with his latest album, State Of Nature. Jordan's first major release in over a decade, State Of Nature shines with Jordan’s pioneering techniques, including simultaneous playing of both guitar and piano. His writing and playing express and embrace evolution, talent and change – his own and that of the world around him. Critics say, “His music is striking, stylish, and commanding. His synthesis of various styles ensures that his reflection on the ways of life will resound with fans of all different types of music, making State of Nature an extraordinary work of great power and possibility.”
