Everybody's talkin' about Jordan...

His eclectic music, full of wit, and shaped by an array of sounds, has the potential to appear to people of all ages with a yen for something different. -Mark Cadigan, Worcester Magazine

A playpen of audio magic. -Joe Longone, Worcester Phoenix

An outstanding educator and artist. -D. Police, Principal, Maple School, Spencer

Bob's one of the good ones. -Col. Bruce Hampton

Jordan keeps his eclectic edge, coursing through styles like a mad dog, and splicing together sound effects like a European film director. -Scott McLennan

An inspiring release. One of the most satisfying listens of the year. -Michael Caito, Providence Phoenix

Copious musical talents... Imaginative, insightful, musically diverse and often weird... Everything from wacky to sincere... Charmed, bedazzled, bewildered and righteously kicked arse... Sublime -Caito

Jack of all trades... Sub rosa! -Jim Macnie

Avant-acoustic musical activist -Scott McLennan
