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, Pisano still presides over the popular weekly series, now entering its tenth year. This two-CD recording, with Pisano providing accompaniment on several tracks, features sixteen performances by a dozen 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.
