For decades serious musicians have known that Esteban "Steve" Jordan is the world's best at taming the diatonic button accordion. But he has traditionally been a musical artist as elusive and reclusive as he is talented. Jordan spent a lifetime shunning the media. But after a near fatal bout of liver cancer, he is finally lifting the veil somewhat on his life and telling his story.

Latino USA's Alex Avila traveled to San Antonio to visit with this mysterious musical genius and produced this hour-long radio documentary titled, "No Rules: The Life & Music of Esteban 'Steve' Jordan." (Total Running Time: 59 mins.)
