MUSIC: Stanley Plays The Dead

Description

4x-GRAMMY® Award Nominee & Legendary Guitarist STANLEY JORDAN formed a new band called STANLEY PLAYS THE DEAD. Jordan has always loved the Grateful Dead's music, Jerry Garcia's playing in particular, and this 4-piece unit was founded to share that love with the fans! In a career that took flight in 1985, with the commercial & critical acclaim of his Gold Album 'Magic Touch' (it topped the Billboard's Jazz Chart for a record-breaking 51 weeks), guitar virtuoso Stanley Jordan has consistently displayed a chameleonic musical persona of openness, imagination, versatility & maverick daring.

Be it bold reinventions of classical masterpieces or soulful explorations through pop-rock hits, to blazing straight ahead jazz forays & ultramodern improvisational works-solo or with a group-Jordan can always be counted on to take listeners on breathless journeys! "Genius is a word often tossed around in musical circles, but it has been rightfully applied to Stanley Jordan," raves the LOS ANGELES TIMES.   The Box Office at Jimmy’s is also Open Daily from 10am to 5pm, for walk-up and phone services where you can purchase tickets and gift cards.
