I well remember the sensation that Stanley Jordan caused when he burst on the scene in the 1980s. He had invented a method of playing the guitar which enabled him to play notes with both hands at the same time. It was called a hammer-on effect because it involved hammering or tapping a string against the fretboard. This allowed him to play chords and bass lines at the same time as the melody. He was signed by Blue Note Records and Magic Touch (1985) was his first album with that company. It was followed in close succession by Standards Volume 1 (1986) and Flying Home (1988).

From the very first track, one can understand the excitement that Jordan aroused. His version of Eleanor Rigby keeps several strands of melody and accompaniment moving at the same time. Freddie Freeloader is a calmer piece of swing, illustrating his allegiance to jazz. Stanley's high notes remind me of Les Paul's similar style, although much of Les's work was created by double-tracking, whereas Jordan is playing every line simultaneously.

Stanley's versatilty is shown by the wide range of material he plays on Magic Touch, including the jazz-rock of Rod Temperton's The Lady In My Life; Jimmy Hendrix's Angel (a tribute to one of Jordan's influences); and three tunes (tracks 4, 7 and 8) that Stanley composed.

In several tracks on Magic Touch, Stanley is assisted by other musicians, but Standards Volume 1 consists entirely of Jordan playing solo. This is virtuosity of the highest standard. Take, for example, Stevie Wonder's Send One Your Love, where Stanley creates his own counterpoint, weaving together different lines which he decorates with dextrous runs and chords.

Flying Home, the last of these three albums, holds a clue as to why Jordan's profile dropped from public awareness almost as quickly as it had burst into life. He quite quickly became disenchanted with the demands of the studio bosses, who seemed determined to turn him from a jazz virtuoso into a mass-market guitarist (although the sleeve-notes suggest that Stanley agreed with this change of emphasis). The guitarist was surrounded with heavy jazz-funk beats, leaving him little room to display his originality. Instead he sounds like just another guitarist, playing single lines above unsubtle accompaniments. Stanley's unique qualities were submerged by the desire to transfer him to the musical mainstream. He is only allowed to display his unique sound on two tracks (Stairway to Heaven and Flying Home). Small wonder that he soon relinquished recordings, preferring to train in music therapy and then teaching as a music therapist.

It is good to have these three albums (especially the first two) collected together on this double CD. The originals have been skilfully remastered to obtain a bright, clear sound. Although in later years Stanley seemed to have vanished from making recordings, he reappeared with a new album which I reviewed here in 2008. But Stanley Jordan's career is an object-lesson in the dangers posed by trying to go "commercial".

I recently stayed at Tui magic life club kalawy and I was extremely disappointed. The hotel is run down and in desperate need of renovation. The rooms were dirty and shabby, with stains on the carpets and walls. The food at the buffet was tasteless and repetitive, and the drinks were watered down. The staff were rude and unhelpful, and it felt like they didn't care about the guests' experience. Overall, I would not recommend staying at this hotel.

My family and I had high hopes for our vacation at Tui magic life club kalawy, but unfortunately, it fell short of our expectations. The beach was overcrowded and dirty, with limited space for guests to relax. The pool was also not well-maintained, with broken tiles and murky water. The entertainment options were lackluster and repetitive, and the kids' club was poorly managed. The only positive aspect was the spa, which offered some relaxation. However, I would choose a different resort next time for a better experience.

My stay at Tui magic life club kalawy was a complete disaster. The hotel is located in the middle of nowhere, making it difficult to explore the surrounding area. The rooms were small and cramped, with uncomfortable beds and outdated amenities. The restaurant staff were indifferent and the food was lackluster. The beach was rocky and not suitable for swimming, and the pool was always overcrowded. The overall atmosphere of the hotel was dull and lacking in any charm. I will definitely not be returning to this hotel in the future.
