	Steve Jordan Autobiography Excerpts about Freddie Green
		The cut has Jordan in the rhythm section for one part and Green for another part of the same track; the difference in their sounds is plain.
		And, as few know, Steve Jordan was the first guitarist to be offered Freddie Green's chair in the Count Basie band after Freddie died between sets in Las Vegas in 1987.
		But Steve had to turn the job down because, at age sixty-eight, he simply did not want to return to the road and travel to all those one-nighters the Basie band plays.

		My idea was to pick the drummers Jeff was influenced by, along with guys who were his peers, and have them each play on a song.
		Steve Gadd's name came up as one of the drummers who Jeff respected a lot on the other coast--someone who would not normally be doing a session with us.
		Steve Jordan came in through Jeff's wife, who told me Steve was a friend of Jeff.

	Stephen Flinn: Artist Update: Modern Drummer Magazine 07/07/2007
		Stephen Flinn spent the ’70s gigging in hard rock bands, and the ’80s immersed in honing his jazz technique.
		Today he considers himself an “avant-garde-ist.” Aside from the ambient, minimal, often Asian-flavored soundscapes found on Flinn’s latest recording, Square Circle, what sets him apart from most drummers working in the realm of experimental music is his unorthodox approach to the kit.
		The drummer’s unique approach was inspired by his 1999 solo tour of the UK.

		I was also ready to surround myself with a totally different group of players in conjunction with a new spirit of making music....something much looser, something not so married to having everything neatly in place and perfectly played(not that I was ever the best at that!).
		We used to meet to 'rehearse'/'jam' at Steve Jordan's loft in the Chelsea section of Manhattan.
		No matter where I have traveled, there is always a drummer or bassist who, when speaking with me, reveals that he has been influenced by the work of Anthony Jackson and Steve Jordan on the three recordings we made together.

		The Club Jordan Cocktail Drum System, developed in collaboration with top Yamaha drummer Steve Jordan (Keith Richards, Donald Fagen, etc.) is a modern version of the 1950s cocktail kit.
		But Club Jordan is more than just a compact kit; it’s also visually striking, allowing the drummer to stand up like a percussionist, or come to the front of the stage and be seen.
		Many drummers also find the Club Jordan is great in the studio for creating subtly unusual timbres and grooves.

		Drummer Steve Jordan, a friend of Vega's since the '80s, says Vega was "a stabilizing force in any group that he played in, which is the reason this thing is so shocking to everyone, because the circumstances of his departure were so incongruous with his life, at least the way we saw it."
		Jordan adds that Vega "fulfilled to the utmost the function of the drummer being the captain of the ship.
		Jordan's comments reflect the reaction of Vega's other friends and associates, who also expressed shock and remember him as a pleasant, easy-going person.

	High Water: The Fabulous Thunderbirds Irish & Celtic Music at An Irish Christmas.com
		Back in the 1980s, Kim Wilson was merely one member of the Fabulous Thunderbirds, a quartet that was as much a showcase for its never-waste-a-note guitarist Jimmie Vaughan, and its lean but rock-solid rhythm section, as it was for its lead singer and harmonica player.
		In the studio, the band is drummer-bassist Steve Jordan and guitarist Danny Kortchmar, who are Wilson's co-writers, co-producers and co-players on High Water.
		Jordan and Kortchmar wrote most of the songs and mixed blues and soul influences with an occasional touch of reggae to set up Wilson's vocals, which are typically strong.

		The quintet is comprised of vocalist Jordan Pundik, guitarists Chad Gilbert and Steve Klein, bassist Ian Grushka and drummer Cyrus Bolooki.
		Steve will then write lyrics to the song or he might just write a verse and come back and be like, 'Here's my main idea, but I just can't get this part.' I'll go home, I'll write the part.
		And for me too, like you hear a song that Steve wrote and I'll add a part or Jordan will add a part, but since we're all close and for the past five years, all our songs are real and they're about things real things that happen.

		The DVD is interspersed with live performances, solo performances (demonstrating grooves from various artists he's played with) artist interviews and commentary from such people as Levon Helm, Keith Richards, Jackson Browne, and Leroy Clouden.
		Also between performances and interviews are musings of various artists in quote form on topics such as what makes a great drummer and what makes a great groove.
		Video quality and sound are good but like Jordan the format is loose and funky but not unorganized.

	Home of the Groove: Make It Funky! (?)
		Then I realized who he was, Steve Jordan (also an interviewee), a great drummer, mind you, but definitely NOT a certified New Orleans player.
		Even though a couple of other local drummers were allowed to play on a certain songs, such as Willie Green’s performance with the Neville Brothers (the band he has been in for over 20 years), I had a disconnect with the film at that point.
		Murphy got up to take questions, I just had to inquire, “I was wondering why Steve Jordan was used as the drummer for most of the concert.

	Drummerworld: Thomas Lang
		Inspired by a televised performance of a heavy metal band, Lang assessed (quite rightly!) that he wanted to be a drummer when he grew up because, “the drummer looked like he was the boss – AND he got to sit down!”
		In his quest to, “play the unplayed,” Thomas has worked cooperatively with the research and development team at Meinl Cymbals to create, “Tom’s Becken” – a pitch-matched range of contemporary crash cymbals that provide acoustic and electronic drummers with modern sounds that resemble artificially engineered cymbal samples.
		Then, it occurred to me that tons of drummers must give up playing because it’s too expensive or not feasible to keep up practicing.

		This is also the precise moment that Steve Jordan switched to his sticks, and away from the brushes.
		In performance, I had forgotten that we had all agreed that the last [A] would only be 8-bars long and then we would transition, taking the Double Coda, and moving to [E].
		If you listen closely you can hear Steve Jordan clearly begin a fill on beat 2 of bar 8 to move us to [E]; and you even hear him begin to play the cowbell with his brush on what would have been the downbeat of the new section.
