 Truly a Magic Touch September 11, 2008
Stanley Jordan is one of the most gifted jazz guitarists out there. Every song is uniquely stamped with his personality and talent. No matter if it is a mainstream jazz standard like Freddie Freeloader or a cover of a Beatles hit like Eleanor Rigby, each song is crafted carefully to commuicate his vision with the listener.
 Still great after all these years. December 5, 2005

I used to see SJ on the Tonight Show way back in the mid-80s and I have the original LP from 1985. He absolutely blew me away back then and now I'm pleased to see that it's available on CD - which I'm giving my 25yo son for Christmas. Music created by legends like SJ will last forever. Check out his website at [...] for an interesting bio. Did you know he graduated from Princeton?

Stanley Jordan's Vibe Guitar playing is such powerful and more unique. Love how he did his thing on the Michael Jackson piece THE LADY OF MY LIFE which is one of my favorite. I first bought this last year and it didn't disappoint me at all. I thought it was kinda wack and a lil soggy in between but now it's good tho even tho it's recommendarily a jazz classic to date. He 'specially does good on other songs I like are Round Midnight and Freddie Freeloader to name a few I believe. He's such a great spirit and a wonderful. Hope he'll put out more in the future.
Best! December 16, 2004

This album is a timeless piece of music. I somewhat agree with the reviewers in regards to the marketing efforts of Stanley, etc... He had not been given an appropriate exposure by publicity...It's a shame, since this guitarist is definately one of the best (if not the best) of all time.
I know a lot of people say he plays "too clean" almoast with no human touch. It somewhat is true, since the guitar he plays is different from all other guitars out there, giving a specific "synthezised" sound, or very clean sound.
However, the phrases of his playing are simply incredible! And how about playing 2 guitarists at once! Just think about what he achieved for this instrument...
Simply, buy his album - you will see it by yourself.

Stanley Jordan is the best ever guitar player of our time. He doesn't get the recognition he so richly deserves! He is truly a genius. To have a Stanley Jordan CD in your possession is to truly have a precious gem. Well worth the money to listen to him. He will take you to a dreamland and beyond.
