Steve Jordan

Esteban 'Steve' Jordan (1939-2010) was a Tejano, conjunto, jazz, blues, and rock musician from Elsa, Texas, nicknamed 'The Jimi Hendrix of the accordion' for his unconventional and wide-ranging approach to the instrument. Born partially blind to migrant farm workers, he eventually mastered 35 instruments and became a foundational figure in South Texas music over a career spanning decades. He released more than a dozen solo albums and collaborated with the Hohner Accordion Company to design a custom instrument built to his own specifications.
