Vanston PlaceQuote:About Ronny Jordan One of the acid jazz movements most prominent guitarists, London-born Ronny Jordan is widely credited with returning the instrument to its rightful place as a major force in modern-day jazz; despite outcries from purists, few other artists of his era proved more pivotal in knocking down the long-immutable boundaries of contemporary black music. The son of a preacher, Jordans early musical history was rooted in gospel; his first public performances were with gospel groups, but the outbreak of Brit-funk during the early 80s led him to begin exploring other avenues of music, culminating in a fascination with jazz. A self-taught guitarist, his early influences included Charlie Christian, Wes Montgomery, and Grant Green, and when hip-hop began to take off, Jordan started exploring ways to fuse jazz and rap together. The first fruit of his endeavors was the single After Hours, a primitive foray into what would eventually become known as acid jazz. Record companies initially wanted no part of Jordans music, but when his distinctive cover of the Miles Davis classic So What became a hit, it was clear something was afoot. He soon released his debut LP, 1992s Antidote, but it was rapper Gurus breakthrough 1993 album, Jazzmatazz, Vol. 1, on which Jordans guitar work was prominently featured, that made acid jazz a viable proposition. He subsequently issued such albums as 1993s Quiet Revolution, 1996s Light to Dark, and 2000s Brighter Day. More to come....Code:
