This review is from: Mel Bay John Pisano's Guitar Night (Audio CD)

This album was recorded over the course of a long standing tradition in the San Fernando Valley known as "Guitar Night" which is hosted by one of the greatest jazz guitarists around, John Pisano. This double cd is a great collection of jazz guitar music. If you are a true jazz fan or a guitar fan in general, you need this. So many legends are included like George Van Eps, Ted Greene, Herb Ellis, John Pisano (appears on nearly all of the tracks), and Joe Diorio as well as lesser known players like Barry Zweig, Peter Bernstein, etc. If you are thinking about buying this but are not sure, let me also say that included is a solo version of Ted Greene playing "When Sunny Gets Blue". If you are a Ted Greene fan, this should be enough for you, as he only recorded one album (in 1977) in his lifetime which included only eight songs. This shows him 23 years later performing live in front of a completely adoring audience. There is also a solo of "I'll Never Be The Same" by George Van Eps and a solo "Round Midnight" by Joe Diorio as well as many other extended jams featuring the legendary comping of John Pisano. Herb Ellis sounds great as always, also. This is such a great piece of jazz history.
