(June 10, 2022) The artistry heard on the single “Dot Dot Dot (The Sequel) from Marqueal Jordan’s album We All Have Are Momentshad its beginnings in a place of personal loss, social upheaval and professional frustration. Jordan hoped to release the album in the fall of 2020, but in a now familiar story the pandemic ended those plans.
During that time, performance venues shuttered, and it became risky for artists to come together. The saxophonist and vocalist also witnessed the tragedies and travesties that we were all witness to during that year. Sad, frustrated, isolated and angry, Jordan had to step away from trying to create for a while.

Sad, frustrated, isolated and angry, Jordan had to step away from trying to create for a while.
Eventually, Jordan returned and threw himself into doing what creatives do. He worked on his album between the summer of 2020 and February of this year, and one result is the seductive R&B/jazz fusion “Dot Dot Dot” that serves as a reminder that being confined isn’t always a bad thing – especially if that confinement is not solitary.
“Dot Dot Dot” is a smooth, mid-tempo ballad that finds Jordan making that one person the center of his attention. Being with the right person can even make sheltering in place because of a global pandemic feel like being booed up at an oceanside resort. “Dot Dot Dot” is the kind of summertime slow jam that would have saturated the airwaves back in the day, and you can make it a part of your soundtrack now.
