About Stanley Jordan
Stanley Jordan has consistently displayed a musical persona of openness, imagination, versatility and maverick daring. Jordan can always be counted on to take listeners on breathless journeys to the unexpected, whether through bold reinventions of classical masterpieces; soulful explorations of pop-rock hits; blazing, straight-ahead jazz forays; or ultramodern improvisational works - solo or with a group. He came to prominence with the release of his 1985 album Magic Touch, which established him as among the most distinctive and refreshing new voices of the electric guitar.

About Billy McLaughlin
Guitarist Billy McLaughlin is an Emmy Award-winning composer and inspirational keynote speaker who has appeared on Billboard's Top 10 chart. He is credited with 14 CD releases, three National Campus Entertainer of the Year Awards and five Minnesota Music Awards. In 1999, his career crumbled due to focal dystonia, a neuro-muscular disorder. After suffering several years without a cure or diagnosis, this right-handed guitarist embarked on an unlikely attempt to regain his career by relearning his instrument, left-handed. His remarkable comeback is captured in the documentary film Changing Keys and a concert film, Coming Back Alive.
