5 out of 5 stars Still great after all these years........2005-12-05

I used to see SJ on the Tonight Show way back in the mid-80s and I have the original LP from 1985. He absolutely blew me away back then and now I'm pleased to see that it's available on CD - which I'm giving my 25yo son for Christmas. Music created by legends like SJ will last forever. Check out his website at [...] for an interesting bio. Did you know he graduated from Princeton?

5 out of 5 stars THE TRU PIONEER OF MUSIC 2DAY.......2005-01-10

Stanley Jordan's Vibe Guitar playing is such powerful and more unique. Love how he did his thing on the Michael Jackson piece THE LADY OF MY LIFE which is one of my favorite. I first bought this last year and it didn't disappoint me at all. I thought it was kinda wack and a lil soggy in between but now it's good tho even tho it's recommendarily a jazz classic to date. He 'specially does good on other songs I like are Round Midnight and Freddie Freeloader to name a few I believe. He's such a great spirit and a wonderful. Hope he'll put out more in the future.

5 out of 5 stars Best!.......2004-12-16

This album is a timeless piece of music. I somewhat agree with the reviewers in regards to the marketing efforts of Stanley, etc... He had not been given an appropriate exposure by publicity...It's a shame, since this guitarist is definately one of the best (if not the best) of all time.

I know a lot of people say he plays "too clean" almoast with no human touch. It somewhat is true, since the guitar he plays is different from all other guitars out there, giving a specific "synthezised" sound, or very clean sound.

However, the phrases of his playing are simply incredible! And how about playing 2 guitarists at once! Just think about what he achieved for this instrument...

Simply, buy his album - you will see it by yourself.

5 out of 5 stars Best ever!.......2004-07-23

Stanley Jordan is the best ever guitar player of our time. He doesn't get the recognition he so richly deserves! He is truly a genius. To have a Stanley Jordan CD in your possession is to truly have a precious gem. Well worth the money to listen to him. He will take you to a dreamland and beyond.

5 out of 5 stars Best Guitarist That Ever Lived With Failed Recognition!.......2004-06-14

Every couple of nights I listen to his music that is spiritual. The influence of Stanley Jordan will be remembered for hundred of years to come. He will be remember as one of the best jazz players of all time. The problem is most Jazz folks have to die while this cat is alive and he could make a million people stand up with a tear in their eyes now. He is humble. He is kind. Yes, there maybe a few guitarists that try to get the most of the guitar, but put them against Mr. Jordan and find out what will happen. Mr. Jordan will wipe out any guitarist. The problem is he is starting to hide in obscurity and if you love his work, find out ways to bring him into popularity again. Write the newspapers to run an article, write music or guitar magazines, write, e-mails, faxes....let us show the world that if there is one better guitarist out there in the world that they need to prove it. Buy his stuff...but promote him. I swear in 35 years, there has never been a more graceful, peaceful, hardworking guitarist in the world. He came to the cross-road...walked right past it and said I am already too great for all this nonesense....now it is up to us to prove him right. TAKE ACTION
