Allmusic[1]

The Antidote is the debut album by English jazz guitarist Ronny Jordan, that was released by Island Records in 1992.

Reception[edit]

Allmusic awarded the album 4.5 stars.[1] The album followed the release of the Miles Davis composition So What as a single, which was popularised by London DJs and went on to become a classic of the 1990s acid jazz genre. The third single, the smooth jazz-flavoured After Hours, became Jordan's first single to reach the US R&B charts.
