In sports , Michael Jordan is considered to be the G.O.A.T., The Greatest Of All Time. When it comes to vocalists in our area, Joe Jordan may not be the G.O.A.T., but he is most certainly in the discussion. And one would say his countenance chiseled on a local Mount Rushmore if there were such a thing. At the very least, he is right at home in The Pantheon of performers behind a microphone. Joe got the bug to be a performer in High School and Jazz Unlimited fans were given a small sample of what Joe Jordan brings to the table when he commands a stage and gets behind a microphone.. Joe was one of the headliners at JU's Annual Fall Concert.

Starting in 1999 after Bands Crude Seduction , Exec, Capitol Drive and for fifteen years after those groups,  Jordan was lead vocalist with Streetlife, the house band for The Milwaukee Bucks for around three decades. That group, founded by fellow Pantheon member Warren Paul Vito Wiegratz, StreetLife had the people dancing in their seats during timeouts. "I've  learned a lot from Mr. Warren," Jordan said. "He is so humble and so talented. I learned a lot about the business of music,  taxes and Just life in music" Jordan loves to study"a lot of Motown, especially Marvin Gaye," Jordan said. "I like Nat King Cole and Donny Hathaway. I listen to female singers, too. Aretha, of course. And Luther Vandross. They did some incredible stuff" So, is Joe Jordan a Soul Singer, a Crooner or a Jazzman? The short answer is YES! "I try to fuse stuff together. I call it jazzy soul stuff. I love to improvise. That's why I play with different musicians who play different styles. They like to experiment and I love that."

Joe has been doing live performances here and there...some private things. He's been working with Generation Z, The Olen Franklin Experience, Cigarette Break, Christopher's Project and his Band JoeJordanLive And, most recently, Jordan hooked up with George Nash, Jr., who put together the True Music Group which released True Soul Volume I. A series of happy accidents led the effort to sit atop the UK Soul Charts in November and December 2022, 2023 The effort got a lot of airplay in Cleveland and Nashville. And there's more where that came from

A duet, Closer and Closer, featuring The killer vocals of Daquela Payne, has gotten a lot of attention overseas. Jordan did a lot of deejay and radio spots in the United Kingdom.

HIS solo cds are still in demand  The Soulful Give Love Produced by Chris Crain. Song Book Soul The Jazz songbook is Epic and the CD Can You Find Your Soul is an incredible heart moving debut, A new Project is coming soon. Joe Jordan has given back and, not unlike the core mission of Jazz Unlimited, is nurturing the next generation of players and performers. He has taught children in MPS, Hope Christian schools and currently teaches at Woodlands School.

JoeJordanLive has been performing the last six years in rotation at The Packing House near the airport, and many other venues.
