Stanley Jordan plays with an uncommon depth of feeling.
Many who see him perform for the first time are struck by the emotional
intensity of his playing. There are times when he seems totally immersed
in the music. As a listener, it is hard not to be affected by this feeling.
Before you know it, you are drawn in to a new musical world with its own
rules and its own seemingly limitless possibilities. And whether he's
spinning out ever-new variations on songs he's played for years, or creating
new songs on the spot, his shows are dependably unpredictable. You could
see him play twice in the same night and it would be a different experience.
So, what kind of music does Stanley Jordan play? Although he was originally
marketed as a jazz artist, his direction has boldly evolved into a broad
synthesis of styles. How do you classify an artist who freely mixes baroque
and blues in the same phrase? Or who can lay down a jazzy walking bass
line plus chords with one hand on one guitar while simultaneously playing
a rock lead with distortion and feedback on another guitar with the other
hand?
Whether you want to recline in
a booth at the back of the room or dine at table center stage, you'll
feel the intimacy of the venue.
The
Blue Star has been designed to be among the best live music experiences
available anywhere! Unlike other jazz clubs that force you into cramped
tables, indifferent service and typical club food, the Blue Star not
only presents the hottest jazz acts, but also excellent cuisine,
outstanding service, and one of the world's most intimate and visually
exciting clubs.
