Stanley Jordan. Innovator of the two-handed touch technique to coax a sweet, percussive sound out of an electric guitar. After graduating from Princeton University in 1981, he went on to become an acclaimed jazz musician known for his guitar pyrotechnics. This new, second season of the podcast “Composers & Computers” tells the three-part story of Stanley Jordan’s time at Princeton, and how, despite years of touring and building his reputation as a jazz master, he never really stopped being a computer musician.
“Composers & Computers” is a podcast about the amazing things that can happen when artists and engineers collaborate. Season 1 focused on Princeton music faculty and graduate students who, with the help of Princeton engineers, pioneered the art of computer music in the 1960s and 1970s when they made use of the new Computer Center in the Engineering Quad.
