Album Notes

READY FOR THE WORLD album
Recorded during the Winter of 2011, the Jesse Jordan Band worked with multi-award winning producer and recording engineer Jurgen Von Wechmar, Owner of Sunset Recording Studios, and produced what they feel is their best work to date.
Given the opportunity by Robin & Christine Thompson, prominent music business professionals from Namibia, they seized the chance to produce an album that captured the perfect blend of Jesse’s amazing vocal range and acoustic guitar skills, Hein’s powerful guitar tone and catchy riffs, Logan’s solid bass lines that holds everything together and JP’s rhythmic, versatile and dynamic drumming.
With an awesome chemistry among these members, whether in the rehearsal room, recording studio or live stage, the Jesse Jordan Band brings a lot more to the party than meets the eye.
The digital media release of the first single off the album, title track “Ready For The World” starts them off on the pre-album tour, and will be followed by a nationwide tour going well into 2012.

READY FOR THE WORLD single
Ready For The World was written by Jesse Jordan and Co-written and arranged by Jesse Jordan Band and Produced by Jurgen Von Wechmar.
During the working of this song, it became the revelation to the band that this sums up the journey that they all find themselves on. Relating figuratively to life, as well as their careers, it speaks of the growth process they’ve gone through during the past years and now they are ready for the next season in life and in their careers.
