Dead Bowl Presents: Stanley Jordan & Gent Treadly
About This Event
Dead Bowl presents Stanley Jordan & Gent Treadly at Brooklyn Bowl. Jordan is an American jazz guitarist whose two-handed tapping lets him shape melody and harmony simultaneously, building contrapuntal lines and extended chords that inform his improvisational phrasing and layered textures; his New York appearances at the Iridium emphasize the mechanics of the guitar as part of the music’s structure.
