Really enjoyed this video of Andy Brown playing and hanging with John Pisano and playing the custom Gibson that was made for Joe Pass. He also plays an Eastman prototype that belonged to John. Good to hear the two of them playing together!

Pass sounded really sweet on that guitar.It's a shame it was never mass produced.

Andy has been around awhile. He sometimes plays duo with Howard Alden, and has played with a number of well-known jazz musicians. He probably isn't as well-known, being in Chicago, as he would be if he were in New York, but there are great musicians who don't live in New York City, as strange as that may sound.

I like pretty much everything he does, from his solo work to sideman with Don Stiernberg, the great jazz mandolinist. Lots of him on YouTube.
