Guitar night 1

Guitar night was originally started in the sixties and seventies at Dontes, the world famouse jazz club in North Hollywood. It was created by Jack Marshall the aranger, composer and producer at Capital records. It featured many of L.A.s greatest guitarists including John.

It was this basic concept that John wanted to build on. A local restaraunt in Encino called Papashon gave him the oportunity to do that starting on September 23rd 1997.

Each month John mailed out cards detailing the guitarists that would be featured on the Tuesday nights for the coming month.

The first featured guitarist was legendary Geoge Van Epps and bassist Luther Hues. The event was captured on video by film producer/director Alan Waite.
