In his teens, he worked on the adaptation to both hands piano style for the fingerboard of the guitar called "touch or tapping in the during which he also developed a pitch of the instrument most suited to this new approach. His mastery with this new style, had reached such a level of development, which led him to win the solo competition at the International Festival Reno Jazz, when he was 17. After a period of study at the Princeton University, Jordan in 1981 obtained a degree in Theory music and composition. After finishing at Princeton, Jordan launched in 1982 its first solo album, Touch Sensitive.

In 1985 he recorded the album Magic Jordan Touch, which would have a huge critical and commercial success, remaining in the atop the jazz charts for 51 weeks. His innovative technique of playing guitar is to press the strings with the two hands, in Instead of the traditional to tear with the fingers of one hand and press strings against the mast with the fingers of the another. Based on This technique achieves reproduce sound of two and up to three guitars or accompany main sound bass lines. This technique is known as tapping.

Despite this enormous success, appearing in such films as Blind or quotes television programs of great impact, the musical production of Stanley Jordan has not been as dramatic as might be expected after its successful debut, as he has devoted much of his time experimenting in the field of the music therapy.
A particular feature is the tuning used in guitar, that is, low to high, EADGCF (Mi, A, D, G, C F) which leads the tuning in fourths Chapman Stick style, and the reverse of some string instruments (like the violin or the cello). Note that the strings are more acute this interval instead of a third major alteration on the second string, which leads to B and E in the traditional tuning.

Already a tradition at this time of year, the Fira del Ram will be in Palma from February 28 to April 19 at Polígono de Son Fusteret.
The Fira del Ram is an amusement park that brings together attractions by the hundred and visitors by the thousands every year. Some consider it the finest in the country, with explosive new rides that will set the adrenalin of more daring visitors racing in sensations of vertigo and speed.
There are less heart-stopping attractions as well, such as the witch’s train or the Ferris wheel, which alternate with more exciting rides, such as spaceships, speedy airplanes, hammers, pirate ships and rapids, and tombolas for those who prefer to try their luck with their feet firmly on the ground.
The venue teems with colour, light and sound for an action-packed afternoon in the company of family and friends and there are refreshment stands so visitors can replenish their strength before going on with the fun. Fun-filled excitement for children and adults alike for yet another year.

Art gallery L’Espai will host from 11 February thru 8 March, the attractive and colourful exhibition “Crocodile Dreams” by Manchester born artist and Mallorcan resident Nikki Jones. The exhibit will be inaugurated with a toast on Thursday 11 February, at 8pm.

Jones will be joined by friends and invited guests for her debut exhibition in Palma. Nikki Jones’ “Crocodile Dreams” is a result of a newly found calling for this former school teacher and mother of a teenage girl, who has found a way to express the deep rooted feelings that were patiently waiting to emerge through her colour-rich paintings, which she regards as “spiritual uplifters”, heighten by her brightened palate, her fresh outlook of life and the strong renaissance influence received during her schooling in Florence.
“I am influenced by colour and textures and the fact that colour is a strong force in the Mediterranean”, explains Jones. “Thus I like to mix all those elements into my paintings to make them dynamic and easy to the eyes, that could easily fit in any type of home”, she adds. “Crocodile Dreams” appears in the midst of a period of change in the artists’ life, as “painting is a therapeutic process for me”, says Nikki Jones. “When I paint it makes me feel very calm and part of me goes in the picture”, she explains.
“I never expected this to happen in my life. It just did. It was there simmering below the surface and it just came out”, she adds. Though the muses recently sparked her dormant talents, Nikki Jones was surrounded by creative souls while growing up in Manchester. Her mother was a fashion designer and her father was an architect and she did have a go at fine arts by studying it in Florence, but she finally decided to pursue a teaching career, which she has done in the UK, Spain and Dubai, exposing her to different realities, breeding ground for artistic expression.
“Painting gives me freedom. I come away feeling lighter”, she says. “What I really like about painting is that you get a finish product, even though it may have not turned out to be as you saw it in your mind, because a painting evolves as it is being done”, she states. Nikki Jones paints on different mediums like canvas and walls. “When I paint on an actual wall, I try to bring what’s missing into a room, to give it a fresh a complete look. Next month, for example, I’m going to paint a children’s room at a nursery, and I am going to create a scene from traditional rhyme”, she adds. “I look forward to a successful exhibit”, says Jennifer Warren-Gash, L’Espai’s event coordinator. “Crocodile Dreams is bound to draw a good crowd while Nikki Jones is busy undertaking commissions and creating a new collection”, she explains.
