I still get a thrill listening to the original Broadway cast recording (1954) with terrific, inspiring and delightful lyrics and music by Betty Comden, Adolph Green, Carolyn Leigh, Moose Charlap, and Jule Styne. I’ve always been especially impressed with the scene in which Peter teaches the three Darling children to fly. First, Peter blows the fairy dust on them, then he entices them to “think lovely thoughts”, and before you know it, they’re flying. So I hope when you listen to this CD, the music inspires you to think lovely thoughts!” Jordan Recent credits: In the Ist Annual 2007 Toronto Exclusive Magazine Awards Online (October, 2007), Jordan's "Groov 2 U" was a Top 5 nominee in the Best International Jazz Song category; in the 11th Annual Unisong International Songwriting Contest, his "Groov 2 U" received Honorable Mention in the Jazz Category, and his "Rondo for Clarinet and Piano" received Honorable Mention in the Instrumental category; "Romance On Moonlit Bay" from his CD, “My Provincetown”, was announced as a Top 5 Finalist for New Age Song of the Year in The 6th Annual Independent Music Awards competition; Jordan's "Rondo for Clarinet and Piano", with Jordan on piano and William Marzullo on clarinet, was a Top Ten Finalist in the OPEN/AOG category of The 3rd Annual International Acoustic Music Awards (IAMA); his children's song, "Echo, The Gecko", was recognized as a Top 10 Finalist in the 2006 USA Songwriting Competition; his New Age composition, "Romance On Moonlit Bay", was named a Top 5 New Age category Finalist in the 2007 Independent Music Awards competition; his solo piano composition, "Fantasie Diabolique", was a Top 20 Finalist/Instrumental in the Unisong 2005 International Songwriting Contest; and his solo piano composition, "Toccata", won 4th Prize/Instrumental category in the Unisong 2003 ISC.
