Bach to bossa nova to contemporary American music, all with remarkable technique and depth of feeling. Tune in today for Jordan's last day in the PT studios. He'll talk about his plans for the future, and he'll play a Grand Duo for Violin and Guitar by Mauro Giuliani, along with violinist Nadir Khashimov.
