Jordan, who played and lived in San José, California for a time is credited with introducing jazz, pop, blues and Chicano rock to the conjunto polka genre and best known as the Jimi Hendrix of the accordion, died at his West Side home late Friday night from complications of liver cancer. He was 71.
