Product Description
As one of the most gifted guitarists of his generation, Stanley Jordan has often been referred to as the ''uncontested master'' of the two-handed tap technique so-called due to his ability to play rhythm and melody simultaneously, like a pianist. This spectacular talent gained him fame and respect all over the world. Stanley Jordan is, however, much more than a top-class expert. His interpretations of the grand repertoire of guitarists from Bird and Trane to John and Paul are true masterpieces, which boldly blend tradition and new age. But the strength and depth of his multi-faceted diamond-like music stem from his early and unshakable - belief in the power of his art. For Stanley, making music has not only been about entertainment, but rather has a spiritual element to it as well, as he regards it as highly therapeutic. Recorded in July 2007 at the New Morning venue in Paris alongside Charnett Moffett and David Haynes, the trio provides the crowd with a breathtaking performance in superb Blu-Ray quality.

Stanley Jordan The Paris Concert
1 Feb 2010
Format:Blu-ray|Amazon Verified Purchase
Stanley is a phenomenal and unique Jazz guitarist and has been around for a long time. His unique style of guitar playing is amazing to watch. That being said, I feel his piano playing was a little off,(a better guitar player). During his performance I felt as though some chords and notes were just random and did not flow or mix well with what else was being played, this is both on guitar and piano. Some may say "That's what Jazz is" but there needs to be a connection, a flow, a progression of sounds that carry one note to another. I realise that this style is extremely difficult to play and while I have heard better studio recordings from him I feel his performance, amazing to watch, was a little of a letdown. The Bass player blew my mind! WOW!! Precise, articulate, flowing and very musical at all times. The rest of the band was also very good. This is a well recorded live performance, the Audio is well mixed and clean, but may not be the best performance by Stanley, but is still a disc worth watching.
I wish Amazon had a 3 Criteria rating that would make for a quicker and more accurate rating of Cd's DVD's and Blu-ray's.
1. Performance
2. Quality of Audio
3. Quality of Video (for DVD's and Blu-ray's)
1.***
2.*****
3.****
Bands that wish to have there performances recognized and recorded should be held to a standard. Poor audio, no matter how good the performance, is still a bad product. Those who would still purchase sub-standard audio quality recordings and rank that product highly are not doing the industry or the band justice. Demand better and we will get it.
