SATURDAY JAZZ BRUNCH: Eleanor Rigby performed by Stanley Jordan - I had been wanting to post a Stanley Jordan tune for awhile. When I was first getting into jazz, I asked people which jazz guitarists I should listen to. I got a lot of obvious answers like Wes Montgomery, Pat Metheny, Allan Holdsworth and the like. Then I found Stanley Jordan and despite his smooth jazz like leanings, his two-handed technique blew me away.
As fitting for a week of songs with girl’s name in the title, today we have a cover of Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles performed by Stanley Jordan off his first album Magic Touch. He has a magic touch indeed on this epic seven minute journey of a song. Enjoy your Saturday brunch!
