 | | Jordan's distinctive two-hand tapping technique, which enables him to play multiple, simultaneous parts -- melody plus counterpoint, harmony or bass lines -- on a single six-string instrument, made him an immediate hot topic of discussion among critics, guitarists and jazz fans. |
 | | Jordan's subsequent CDs showed off the guitarist's ability to interpret pop and funk as well as smooth jazz and swing, but none matched the sales of his sophomore effort. |
 | | Jordan's 2003 recordings, Ragas and Relaxing Music in Difficult Situations, hinted at his new sense of purpose, while the 2004 release Dreams of Peace (alongside the Italian group Novecento) returned to smooth jazz and funk. |
