In 1997 during a series of performances at “Papashon” in Los Angeles, jazz-guitarist John Pisano convinced a 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 has continued to preside over the weekly concerts. This two-disc set features 16 tracks, including live performances from Anthony Wilson, Ted Greene, Pat Kelley, Scott Henderson, Corey Christiansen, Joe Diorio, Barry Zweig, Frank Potenza, Peter Bernstein and Larry Koonse with John Pisano providing accompaniment on most tracks.THE GODFATHERS OF GROOVE FEATURING REUBEN WILSON, BERNARD “PRETTY” PURDIE, AND GRANT GREEN JR.
