The Story
"Stolen Moments", which captures Stanley Jordan, bassist Charnett Moffett and drummer Kenwood Dennard live at the Blue Note in Tokyo, Japan, offers high energy, strong group interplay and a very enthusiastic audience. This album has lots of burnin' straight-ahead jazz. On several tracks, Stanley plays two guitars at the same time (no overdubs). "Stolen Moments" features Stanley playing chords on one guitar with his left hand while simultaneously playing melodies on another guitar (attached to a synthesizer) with his right hand. A great way to experience cuts from out-of-print albums, such as his take on the Led Zeppelin classic, "Stairway To Heaven".
