Stanley Jordan Plays Jimi at New Jersey Performing Arts Center

About

Jazz guitarist Stanley Jordan channels the blues-rock legend in this can?t-miss tribute. ?This is my fantasy Jimi Hendrix concert if Jimi were still alive and playing today,? he explains. It was Jimi?s death in 1970 that first moved eleven-year-old Stanley to take up the guitar. His jazz career took flight, with four GRAMMY® nominations and the development of his signature two-handed touch technique, which was inspired by Jimi?s left-handed tapping. In this performance, Stanley channels Jimi while allowing his own style to shine through. Part of TD James Moody Jazz Festival
