SUMMARY:Stanley Jordan
DESCRIPTION:“a virtuosic tour de force” – L.A. Times\n  \nGuitar virtuoso Stanley Jordan’s career took flight in 1985 with commercial and critical acclaim. Since then\, he has consistently displayed a chameleonic musical persona of openness\, imagination\, versatility and maverick daring. Here\, he displays bold reinventions of classical masterpieces or soulful explorations through pop-rock hits. Also\, blazing straight ahead jazz forays and ultramodern improvisational works\, solo or with a group. Thus\, Jordan can always be counted on to take listeners on breathless journeys into the unexpected. \n“Jordan’s revolutionary approach to the instrument [is] shocking.” – All Music\nKey to Jordan’s fast-track acclaim is his mastery of a special technique on the guitar’s fretboard. Instead of conventional strumming and picking\, Jordan’s innovative “touch technique” is an advanced form of two-handed tapping. While a handful of others use similar techniques\, Stanley’s fluid\, multi-layered textures and sheer virtuosity raise the bar for excellence. However\, his technique\, though impressive\, is always a means to a musical end. \n”To see and hear Stanley Jordan play guitar is to witness higher-level instrumental performance.” — Roanoke Times\nHis music is imbued with a warmth and sensitivity that has captured the imagination of listeners worldwide. A classically trained pianist before playing guitar\, Jordan wanted greater freedom in voicing chords on his guitar. Then\, he applied piano principles to do so. Furthermore\, Jordan’s touch technique allows the guitarist to play melody and chords simultaneously with an unprecedented level of independence. It also allows Jordan to play simultaneously on two different guitars\, or even on guitar and piano. \nJordan has received four Grammy nominations. Additionally\, his 2011 album Friends was nominated for an NAACP Image Award. L.A. Times jazz critic Leonard Feather wrote\, “Genius is a word often tossed around in musical circles. But it has been rightfully applied to Stanley Jordan.” \nRecommended for fans of Pat Metheny\, Al Di Meola\, Larry Coryell and John McLaughlin.

SUMMARY:Anders Osborne
DESCRIPTION:“mix of Neil Young meets Jackson Browne style” – Glide\n  \nOn his seventeenth album\, singer-songwriter Anders Osborne describes 2024’s Picasso’s Villa\, “a condensed story about living in America between 2018-2021. The fears\, confusion\, deep joy and peace achieved through true friendship\, family\, community\, hours of meditation and detachment from ego.”  \nFurther\, Osborne has been in a twelve-step program for fifteen years. He explains\, “The biggest change in getting sober was the focus on meditation and prayer\, just looking more inward. When I’m sleeping in 140 different beds a year\, eating unhealthy foods\, meditation is what keeps me centered. Holding myself in that sacred space for a while is what makes it possible for me to do all this.” \nAfter living and performing in New Orleans for almost four decades\, Osborne has become a fixture of that musical community. Thus\, Guitar Player called him “the poet laureate of Louisiana’s fertile roots music scene.” Also\, New Orleans’ Gambit Weekly honored Osborne as Entertainer of The Year. Additionally\, OffBeat named him the Crescent City’s Best Guitarist on three occasions\, and the Best Songwriter twice. He has appeared at Jazz Fest for over thirty-five years. \nIn addition to his solo shows\, Osborne performed with the North Mississippi All-Stars\, Toots and the Maytals\, and John Scofield. Also\, The Meters\, Derek Trucks\, Warren Haynes\, Stanton Moore\, Phil Lesh\, Jackie Greene\, Bonnie Raitt\, Dr. John\, and Taj Mahal. Osborne appeared as himself in an episode of the HBO series Treme. Also\, he taught a course about art and the music business at Tulane University. Osborne has collaborated with Steve Earle at the annual Camp Copperhead songwriting camp since 2019. \nRecommended for fans of Tab Benoit\, The Radiators\, Devon Allman and North Mississippi All-Stars.
