Let's get blue...

Perfect music for the mood...

I happened to stumble upon some old mp3 collection and was listening to some really nice guitarwork by this jazz guitar legend, Stanley Jordan. I love his Stolen Moments album. It's an absolute masterpiece. Another of his wonderous works not contained in this album is Riveira De Paradiso. I can literally get high on the music. Ha...



Stolen Moments
1991
Produced by: Stanley Jordan

Jazz trio with Stanley Jordan on guitar,
Charnett Moffett on bass and Kenwood Dennard on drums

Tracks: Stairway to Heaven, Impressions, Lady in My Life, Autumn Leaves, Stolen Moments, Return Expedition, Over The Rainbow

High energy, strong group interplay and a very enthusiastic audience, this album has lots of burnin' straight-ahead jazz. On several tracks Stanley plays two guitars at the same time (no overdubs). Stolen Moments features Stanley playing chords on one guitar with his left hand while simultaneously playing melodies on another guitar (attached to a synthesizer) with his right hand.

(RECORDED LIVE at The Blue Note, Tokyo, Japan)
