Stanley Jordan – Friends (2-LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Stanley Jordan's touch-style guitar technique, developed through years of playing both melody and harmony simultaneously across the fretboard, makes him one of the most genuinely singular voices in jazz guitar history. Hearing him in conversation with players of this caliber reveals just how deep that vocabulary runs, each collaborator drawing out a different dimension of his playing.
A release that it's creator Stanley Jordan cites as his most realized project to date finds him in challenging company: fellow strummers Charlie Hunter, Russell Malone, Bucky Pizzarelli and Mike Stern; saxmen (and label mate) Kenny Garrett and Ronnie Laws; N'awlins trumpeter Nicholas Payton and the renowned violinist Regina Carter. Another label mate, Christian McBride, guests on bass when not handled by Stanley's long-time trio bassist Charnett Moffett. Kenwood Dennard of his trio holds down the drum chair. Truly, a collection of Friends whose benefit push Stanley into a heightened musical reality.
