Ronny Jordan - A brighter day

I've heard one track off a Blue Note sampler
which was in my view very good, but not sure about the rest of the CD. Could be worth checking out.

I very much like Ronny Jordan and I have all his CD's, 4 in total.

The last one released few months ago is probably the least interesting. Half of the CD is excellent stuff but the other half is more or less b*** s***, the kind that George Benson would do. Two great jazz guitar players but unfortunately, some of their latest music is not quiet up to their technical skills.

If you do not have any of Ronny Jordan's CD's, get the first one which is great from the first till the last minute.

Ronny seems to have fallen foul of the usual record company pressure to produce 'commercial' cds. Some of his output is sub standard and some interesting for this reason. I agree the first CD is probably the best so far. BTW, I have a twelve inch single which I purchased for the non album B side which is an amazing instrumental version of 'Favourite Things'- the Julie Andrews song!

thanks for the responses, guys. I have The Antidote, which I enjoyed very much. haven't heard anything since, though.

I think Stanley Jordan sorta went the same way - his early stuff was fresh and exciting, but later stuff seemed heavily influenced by record company influences - or at least what I assume to be such influences.

I like The Antidote and The Quiet Revolution. I'm not so enamoured of the album with DJ Krush, but it's OK. But I think this latest album is my favourite of his - it gets more plays than the others.
