In 1997, during a series of performances at Papashon in Los Angeles, jazz guitarist John Pisano persuaded the club to begin featuring a different guitarist each week. The event became known as Guitar Night, and while the setting has since moved to Spazio, John still presides over the popular weekly series, now entering its tenth year.
John Pisano's Guitar Night, the first double CD from Mel Bay Records, features sixteen live tracks by thirteen top players, including Peter Bernstein, Corey Christiansen, Joe Diorio, Herb Ellis, Ted Greene, Scott Henderson, Pat Kelley, Larry Koonse, Frank Potenza, George Van Eps, Anthony Wilson, and Barry Zweig, with John providing accompaniment on most selections.
