The "Hang"

​​​

Musicians love to “hang”.

​

These informal gatherings could be as simple as a couple of musicians getting together to play, talk, or have a bite to eat. It could also be where a great many musicians congregate, and this place becomes known as “the hang.”

​

John Pisano’s Guitar Night has been “the hang” for guitar players and fans of jazz guitar for more than twenty-two years.

​

With a simple informal host and guest format, John Pisano has succeeded in bringing the finest guitarists and music to his weekly Tuesday evening Guitar Nights since 1997.

​

Guitar Night all began with just two guitars and a bass, and it quickly migrated to a quartet format with bass and drums. Whatever the configuration, it is mostly unrehearsed, and these ultimate professionals bravely test themselves by often going outside the established musical boundaries. With the confidence that only great talent exudes, they wander, explore, and finally find their way back to musically resolve on the right note, every time.
