Thank you, Vet Tix, Fox Tucson Theatre, The Stanley Jordan Trio, Security, all directors, managers, coordinators, production designers, audio/visual/lighting/sound techs, stage hands, snack and beverage servers, bartenders, ticketers, ushers, volunteers, and your great staffs for a splendid evening and an incredible concert. This was my wife's and my and our friends' second visit to Fox Tucson Theatre. It is so gorgeous with its colorful floret tiles and spires and travertine-looking walls. We had excellent seats in the Left Section, Row B, Seats 8-12, about thirty feet from Jordan, which was perfect! In all actuality, there are no bad seats in the house. A nice feature of Fox Tucson Theatre is its snack bars that serve various types of refreshments, including adult beverages. The Fox Tucson Theatre website presented: "In a career that took flight in 1985 with commercial and critical acclaim, guitar virtuoso Stanley Jordan has consistently displayed a chameleonic musical persona of openness, imagination, versatility and maverick daring. Be it bold reinventions of classical masterpieces or soulful explorations through pop-rock hits, to blazing straight ahead jazz forays and ultramodern improvisational works-solo or with a group-Jordan can always be counted on to take listeners on breathless journeys into the unexpected." I was introduced to Stanley Jordan in 1987 while watching the movie Blind Date with Bruce Willis and Kim Basinger. What a hilarious flick! Bruce took Kim to a recording studio to hear a young Jordan play. That’s when I got hooked on his music. He is an amazingly talented musician. His unique tap-picking style puts him light years ahead of his contemporaries. He made that guitar sit, dance, talk, sing, and prance! I should say those guitars. He actually played two at once. He did a duet with a guitar and piano as well. His drummer did likewise with the drum and keyboards. Yeah! I never dreamed I'd hear him live, but miracles do happen! He even sings! His bass player and drummer were also from another musical planet. They enveloped that guitar voice with their own special echos of sometimes mellow and other moments dramatic and lively blends of discordance and harmony. Their doo-wopping added another dimension to the mix. It's fascinating how with Jazz, one song can go on for twenty minutes or so. What a thrill ride! Again, thank you, Vet Tix, Fox Tucson Theatre, The Stanley Jordan Trio, Security, all directors, managers, coordinators, production designers, audio/visual/lighting/sound techs, stage hands, snack and beverage servers, bartenders, ticketers, ushers, volunteers, anyone I missed, and your stupendous teams for a nice time and a fantastic show. We, active military personnel, veterans, first responders, our families and friends, truly appreciate all you do for us, our communities, and our blessed nation! You truly rock! Sincerely, Chuck
