Musical artist
Stanley Jordan (born July 31, 1959)[1]
Music career
[ edit ]
Jordan was born in Chicago , Illinois , United States.[1] [2] [1] At Princeton University , he studied music theory and composition with Milton Babbitt and computer music with Paul Lansky .[3] [4] Edward Nelson .[5] Benny Carter and Dizzy Gillespie .[2]
In 1985, Bruce Lundvall became president of Blue Note Records and Stanley Jordan was the first person he signed. Blue Note released his album Magic Touch Billboard ' s jazz chart for 51 weeks, setting a record.
Touch technique
[ edit ]
Normally, a guitarist uses two hands to play each note. One hand presses down a guitar string behind a chosen fret to prepare the note, and the other hand either plucks or strums the string to play that note. Jordan's touch technique is an advanced form of two-handed tapping .[1] or hammering ) his finger down behind the appropriate fret. The impact causes the string to vibrate enough to sound the note, and the volume can be controlled by varying the force of impact. Jordan taps with both hands, and more legato than is normally associated with guitar tapping. His technique allows the guitarist to play melody and chords simultaneously.[1]
He plays guitar in all-fourths tuning , from bass to treble EADGCF (all in perfect fourths as on the bass guitar) rather than the standard EADGBE. He has stated that all-fourths tuning "simplifies the fingerboard, making it logical".[6]
Jordan's main guitar was built by Vigier Guitars in 1984: it is an Arpege model on which Vigier made a flat fingerboard, allowing it to have a very low action (0.5/0.7mm). The low action facilitates the tapping technique.
Recording

Among the artists Jordan has worked with are Quincy Jones , Stanley Clarke , Onaje Allan Gumbs , Michal Urbaniak , Richie Cole , The Dave Matthews Band , The String Cheese Incident , Phil Lesh , Moe , and Umphrey's McGee .
He has performed at many jazz festivals, including Kool Jazz Festival (1984), Concord Jazz Festival (1985), and the Montreux International Jazz Festival (1985).
In 2004, he released the album Dreams of Peace [7] Novecento . The album was produced by Lino Nicolosi and Pino Nicolosi at Nicolosi Productions and was released in the U.S. on Favored Nations . He signed with Mack Avenue Records and released State of Nature in 2008 and Friends in 2011. The latter was nominated for an NAACP Image Award . He has four Grammy nominations.
Jordan made the startup sound for the Macintosh computer models the Power Macintosh 6100 , Power Macintosh 7100 , and Power Macintosh 8100 .
Film and television
[ edit ]
Jordan made a cameo appearance in the movie Blind Date One Red Rose . In 1996 he wrote the score for the ABC TV afternoon special, Daddy's Girl .
Since the mid-1980s he has performed on numerous television shows, including The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson , The David Letterman Show and the Grammy Awards .
