MUSIC: Stanley Plays The Dead

Description

 4x-GRAMMY® Award Nominee & Legendary Guitarist STANLEY JORDAN formed a new band called STANLEY PLAYS THE DEAD. Jordan has always loved the Grateful Dead's music, Jerry Garcia's playing in particular, and this 4-piece unit was founded to share that love with the fans! In a career that took flight in 1985, with the commercial & critical acclaim of his Gold Album 'Magic Touch' (it topped the Billboard's Jazz Chart for a record-breaking 51 weeks), guitar virtuoso Stanley Jordan has consistently displayed a chameleonic musical persona of openness, imagination, versatility & maverick daring.

Be it bold reinventions of classical masterpieces or soulful explorations through pop-rock hits, to blazing straight ahead jazz forays & ultramodern improvisational works-solo or with a group-Jordan can always be counted on to take listeners on breathless journeys! "Genius is a word often tossed around in musical circles, but it has been rightfully applied to Stanley Jordan," raves the LOS ANGELES TIMES.
