Welcome STANLEY JORDAN to the Fractal Audio artist roster!

[CodePoet]

Amazing! I remember getting SJ's first album on vinyl back in the day. Was blown away not only by his style but the touch and emotion he brought to his music. Would love to know more about his custom editor and hardware!

Welcome Maestro Stanley J!

Awesome
I didn’t know who he was until now and I went to listen and while listening to some of his work (which is great I like it a lot btw) I found he also did an album (titled ‘Precious Gems’) with one of my favorite guitarists ever, Phil Keaggy.
So glad he joined!

Welcome Stanley! Back in the early 80s I worked in a road/gear shop in Madison WI - I was doing some shipping in the back room, and wafting from the shop was the sound of a jam session - at least 3 guitars … Not something we would normally condone… The owner asks me to go up and help “get that under control”…. So I dutifully walk out there… and start looking for all the people… and there’s only one guy…. Absolutely tearing up one guitar. Stanley. I’ve been a diehard fan ever since!

I used to hang out in there all the time .

Wait. What now??

Uh, exactly. Wait. What?

As a substandard guitar player AND programmer, this offends me deeply.

Seriously though, pretty cool across the board.

Stanley Jordan, Allan Holdsworth & Fripp/Crimson were recommended to me in my freshman year of high school by another outstanding musician named Trey Spruance. I couldn't imaging not knowing about these musicians now.......

I found this photo of me an Allan Holdsworth from when he was first checking out the Axe-Fx.
I appear pretty casual as I am operating Axe-Edit in the background, but rest assured he was literally blowing my mind. He adopted the unit and played it for years afterwards.

You probably were just exhausted from all the mind-blowing. In the 2nd pic, you can tell he at least felt confident enough in the Axe-Fx to let it hold his beer. . Great shots!

I thought Stanley Jordan was a Jazz bassist. Who am I thinking of?

Probably should be in a separate thread for Mr Holdsworth. We all getting old, lol.

Welcome Mr. Jordan. I have been a fan for many years.
