Stanley Jordan doing Eleanor Rigby

[yeti]

Is this recent or just some old footage? I haven't seen this guy in forever.

that is awesome lol. way over my head, but i can still appreciate it. it always impresses me when i see someone playing more than one melody line at a time with the tapping. he strays alot from the song but its so clean and well done. ive never even heard of him before. does he primarily play jazz stuff?

that is about 20 yrs old - very cool stuff , up to a point ... IMO, get's kinda old to hear that style for more than a tune or 3

I remember him coming out like 20 yrs. ago, even made an appearance in a horrible Bruce Willis flick (Blind Date, or something), then poof, disappeared. I'm just curious where this came from...looks like he's onstage at a school or something.

I must admit, I didn't like it. However, it's an impressive display.

That's from his 1st album. I've seen him live a couple of times; pretty mindblowing stuff, and his fusion chops are great!

I think he was primarily jazz...for some reason something with him and Herbie Han**** jamming comes to mind. I also have to admit, his playing blows my mind technique-wise, but i don't feel much listening to it. Basing that on this one song, of course .

Most of the people who post on that site are idiots...it will be 50 comments of "No, YOU'RE ghey!" by the end of the day.
Good site for odd little clips though.
