About Stanley Jordan

 

Legendary guitar virtuoso Stanley Jordan teams up with Grammy award winning drummer Kenwood Dennard and jam band veterans Greg Koerner on bass and Jesse Hiatt on keyboards for a mesmerizing evening of Grateful Dead music reimagined through the genius of one of the most innovative guitarists of our time.

Stanley Jordan was born in Chicago, Illinois, and grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. He began his music career at age six studying piano, then shifting his focus to guitar at age eleven. He then began playing in rock and soul bands. In 1976, while still in high school, Jordan performed with Quincy Jones and tied for first place as a soloist at the Reno International Jazz Festival. In 1981 he earned a BA in music from Princeton University, where he studied theory and composition with composer Milton Babbitt and computer music with composer Paul Lansky. While still at Princeton, Jordan performed with Benny Carter and Dizzy Gillespie.
