World-renowned guitarist Stanley Jordan has developed a new live show called "Stanley Plays Jimi." This is a tribute show, but it's not pure imitation. Instead Stanley builds on Jimi's legacy in a creative way. As Stanley explains it, "This is my fantasy Jimi Hendrix concert if Jimi were still alive and playing today. By re-imagining his music and channeling his persona I try to bring that fantasy to life."

Jordan has received widespread recognition for his musical talent, including four Grammy nominations, a NAACP Image Award and praise from esteemed critics like Leonard Feather. Jordan has collaborated with a diverse range of artists, including Art Blakey, Richie Cole, Stanley Clarke, Kenny Rogers, Les Paul, Eddie Van Halen, BB King, Steve Miller, David Gilmour, Robert Palmer, and Brian Setzer.
