Stanley Jordan drops some knowledge and a new album with Kevin Eubanks: Podcast 136

Guitar legend Stanley Jordan returns to NYC Radio Live to share his ideas of finding one’s voice and role as an artist and bringing his heartfelt new duet album with Kevin Eubanks.

“Genius is a word too often tossed around in musical circles, but it has been applied rightfully to Stanley Jordan, the guitar virtuoso.” -Leonard Feather

Stanley’s original style of two handed tapping, the touch technique, allows him to play the guitar with the freedom of a keyboardist. The voices are so independent on his instrument that on record it is almost hard to believe that the music is coming from one person (See the video below!). A four time-Grammy nominee, Jordan’s album Magic Touch was #1 on Billboard’s jazz chart for 51 weeks, setting a new record. He has toured in over 60 countries and now focuses much of his attention to the direct healing power of music: music therapy.
