STANLEY JORDAN: STANLEY PLAYS THE GRATEFUL DEAD
UCPAC, WBGO, & Smooth Jazz NJ Present: Stanley Jordan: Stanley Plays The Grateful Dead
Saturday, June 1
7 PM
As part of their new All That Jazz series at Hamilton Stage, UCPAC, WBGO, & Smooth Jazz NJ Present: Stanley Jordan: Stanley Plays The Grateful Dead.
Guitarist Stanley Jordan has formed a new band called Stanley Plays The Dead. Jordan has always loved the Grateful Dead’s music and Jerry Garcia’s playing in particular, and this 4-piece unit was founded to share that love with the fans. Jordan has received four Grammy nominations. His most recent album “Friends” was nominated for an NAACP Image Award. Los Angeles Times jazz critic Leonard Feather wrote, “Genius is a word often tossed around in musical circles, but it has been rightfully applied to Stanley Jordan.”
Legendary guitar virtuoso Stanley Joran 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.
