 In a significant milestone of his illustrious career, Jordan has been honoured with induction into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame. The induction ceremony took place on November 1, 2023, in Toronto, Ontario, recognizing Jordan as an acclaimed producer, jazz vocalist, and revered songwriter known as a "songwriter's songwriter" by his peers and industry icons. Alongside fellow inductee John Capek, with whom he co-wrote the hit "Rhythm of My Heart" for Rod Stewart, Jordan was celebrated for his immense contributions to the world of music.

Jordan expressed his gratitude, saying, "It's very gratifying to be recognized with and by your peers anywhere in the world, but it makes it all the more gratifying to be recognized at home here in Canada – and at the same time as my first and most successful writing partner John Capek with whom I have worked on and off for almost 50 years."

"Best Day of My Life," the latest single from Jordan's album Waiting for the Sun To Rise, is a beautifully poignant and contemplative track that delves into the theme of longing for something or someone that seems just out of reach. The song captures the essence of yearning for connection and recognition from someone unaware of your existence. The delicate balance of sentimentality and resignation is perfectly reflected in a heartfelt trumpet solo by Grammy-winning trumpeter Randy Brecker.
