Natalie Merchant - "Leave Your Sleep"
Guitarist Stanley Jordan has been dazzling audiences since the mid-1980s with his innovative, two-hand tapping approach. His 1985 Blue Note Records debut, Magic Touch achieved commercial success and secured his position in the music industry as a bona fide guitar hero. On State of Nature, Jordan's debut for the Detroit-based Mack Avenue Records, Jordan, along with bassist Charnett Moffett and drummers David Haynes and Kenwood Dennard, showcases his pioneering technique through a well conceived program of standards and original material.Highlights include the well arranged lengthy opener "A Place in Space" and the solo guitar tour de force "Andante from Mozart's Piano Concerto #21." For a handful of tracks, the California native adds another dimension to his jaw-dropping technical display by playing piano and guitar simultaneously. It turns out Jordan is no slouch as a pianist, improvising fluid right hand solos with the same emotional fervor he executes on guitar. ...all about Jazz

GreenOne of the most unjustly neglected albums of its time, this superb collection of snappy psychedelic rock first appeared in 1969 and makes its long-overdue CD debut here, complete with four previously-unheard pre-album demos. A brilliant mixture of raw guitar, subtle horns and catchy songwriting, the album comes across as a delightfully idiosyncratic amalgam of the Beatles, the Zombies and Buffalo Springfield, making it a must-have for fans of classic 60s psychedelia
