About this album
Magic Touch is the breakthrough debut that introduced Stanley Jordan’s remarkable two-handed tapping technique to a wider jazz audience. Released in 1985, the album blends post-bop, fusion and contemporary jazz into a set that includes striking interpretations of standards such as “Eleanor Rigby”, “Freddie Freeloader” and “Round Midnight”, alongside Jordan originals. Its combination of technical invention and melodic control set him apart from the pack and helped make the record one of the most talked-about jazz debuts of the decade. Magic Touch established Jordan as a major new voice, admired for turning a virtuosic approach into music with real clarity and swing.
