Stanley Jordan: A Guitarist With A 'Magic Touch'

Stanley Jordan is a jazz guitarist and pianist -- but unlike most musicians, he often plays both at the same time. A major figure in the jazz world since his album Magic Touch was released by Blue Note in 1985, Jordan first became known for his mastery of the two-handed tapping technique on the guitar. But that same technique also allows for one-handed playing, and now Jordan often brings his guitar over to the piano, where he plays both instruments simultaneously. 

Hear Jordan and his trio perform live in the Soundcheck studio.
