Jerome Jordan's own music, known amongst his circle of musicians, as Extended Chord Rock, is, of course, a combination of all of his influences from 1980's post punk new wave to 70's funk and soul to experimental industrial noise, to hardcore, to jazz and fusion to classical. The subjects are lofty, poetic, and profound. His performances are intense. ***************************************************************************

A few quotes:
"Jordan is NYC's own hardest working man in show biniss, doing duty in myriad bands and serving as something of a black rock impresario. While Jordan is poised as the local scene's great guitar hero, Tamar-Kali is its post-punk Queen Bee. "
--Kandia Crazy Horse, from The Village Voice, Author of "Rip It Up: The Black Experience in Rock 'n' Roll"

"Nowhere in the year 2002's trumpeting of Great White Hypes and their predominantly retro sounds was there much if any room for the current crop of rock star hopefuls on the black-hand side: Tamar-Kali, Kregg Ajamu, Santi White & Stiffed, Cherry, Cody ChestnuTT, Joi, Martin Luther, Martha Redbone, Jerome Jordan, Mascara and even Cee-Lo (of Knarles Barkley), "
-Kandia Crazy Horse, from the book, "Rip It Up: The Black Experience in Rock 'n' Roll"

"If you're a musician in New York, you probably know Jerome Jordan. This dreadlocked, Brooklyn-bred singer/songwriter/musician has played with just about everyone on countless albums and is a mainstay on the New York scene. After working with local bands Funk Face and Tamar-Kali and contributing to poet Saul Williams's debut, Amethyst Rock Star, Jordan is currently working on a solo album, which can be described as '70s soul with a rock heart, awash in a cosmic stew. A musician's musician, Jordan weaves multi-layered songs that groove at various levels with vocal harmonies anchored with an early Funkadelic-esque sensibility. that wouldn't be out of place on some blaxploitation film if it weren't for its delicate and brilliant breakdowns. Some tunes create musical chaos for ears tuned to hand-to-mouth pop. For the non-MTV music lover - you know, the one who takes time to actually listen to a song - Jerome Jordan crafts music that intrigues and satisfies. Expect him to explode in the near future. "
