Guitar Night is fabulous. So many players I've read and heard about over the years but to see such talented people in a classy/cozy club atmosphere is awesome. Keep up the good work.
Superb as ever. Some virtuoso work by the band, as usual, and what a treat to hear Jonathan Stout’s chord-based solos. Well done, Frank Vignola. You’re a star. Please keep this up!
Excellent work, guys! Jonathan Stout's playing echoes back to the "good ol' days" of guitar playing like George Van Eps, Allan Reuss, Carl Kress, and Dick McDonough. Even more so on his "period" instruments. As always, 5+ stars, Frank!!!
This is a very special Guitar Night with kind of „old style“ swing meets „new style“ swing. Frank gives Jonathan a large space for showing what the old masters of guitar jazz did on their instruments. This is so inspiring to see and hear the guitar as a whole orchestral instrument!
It's such a treat to hear Frank playing a big old Gibson jazz box like that blonde beauty with the McCarty pickup. Frank sounds masterful playing any guitar but the old Gibson and Epiphone Archtops sound can't be beat. What a pairing, Stout with Vignola. I hope we get a chance to see it again.

Jonathan is great. I think he resides in the Pacific Northwest. I feel like of his particular style, him and Pizzarelli are like the Tupac and Biggie of swing and pre-bebop :-) thought that was kinda cool. And, of course, Frank is why I’m here. Thanks for providing this blessing every week, Birdland.
Jonathan told us that he lives in Los Angeles and works full time as an attorney which is why he doesn't make it to NYC very often but we've invited him back
Strong rhythm section, in the pocket as they say. Beautiful melodies played on vintage guitars. Great ensemble work by all. A pleasure to see and hear these musicians favor us with their talent. Very tasty indeed.
Wow. Eddie Lang reincarnated. Old school style! Love it. Old Gibsons! Great Comping. Every beat different and playing the melody while doing so. Now airmail special on a 150. Charlie Christian move over.
@@Polyhymnia1964 Wouldn't be surprised if it was Christian's Gibson EH-150 amp. They usually keep a Twin Reverb in that spot for Pasquale when he plays but can't see it.
Thanks. Do you happen to know how and where it clips to the guitar? I just bought a 1998 Gibson custom reissue of a ‘34 L5 that I’ll be stepping out eventually with. Stout’s rig is exactly where I’m headed. What a player. If I was Frank, I’d be on my toes.
@@Polyhymnia1964 - for the acoustic L-5, I use a DPA4099 mic, using either "cello" mount on the strings between the bridge and tailpiece, or on the tailpiece, or the "sax/trpt" mount on my 1939 L-5. It was running into an XLR mute pedal, and then an XLR A/B box, and then to the FOH mixer. The mic is pointed straight down at the top between the f-hole (and NEVER at the f-hole) and the bridge, about an inch off the top. The 1938 ES-150 (borrowed from a friend, my one at home is a 1937) was running into a JJ-150 pedal by Combs Instruments into the house Henriksen amp (a Bud 10, I think). I'm told the pedal is basically a transistorized EH-150 circuit in a pedal, and I love being able to use it with a house backline amp and still be able to get the "octal tube" EH-series tone. Here's an older blog post about by rig... the pedals have been upgraded since then, and I sold the L-12 and Epi Deluxe and got a monstrously big sounding 1939 L-5 instead. But you'll get the gist. www.campusfive.com/swingguitarblog/2017/8/2/rig-rundown-2017

This is my favorite style of jazz, whatever it’s called. These guys are fantastic!
Same here, it’s swing from the pre-bebop era of the 1920’s-1930’s.
Awesome performance and so good to hear such wonderful old guitars and superb musicians playing real live music.
Absolutely wonderful!
Good lord I could have gone and missed this! Please do it again!!
The man!
Wow what a Brilliant set tonight, all on fire. Just love Jonathan stout what an amazing player 👌

Jonathan’s sitting posture is almost identical to Pasquale’s!! And with the round glasses too haha!!
Superb set
I love Charlie Christian music.
Lovely . . I'm Confessin' [][][] [] 11.7k 🥳🎇✨🎆🎉
Jonathan answering the age old question "But how do they TIME metronomes?"

Jonathan! Swingin' hard and making a case for the lower case j! (He knows what I'm talking about.) 😀
Хой! ;)
Ooooh nice! Marty Sender You Tube

Jonathan is playing a 1932 L5 and a 1938 ES150
I want to know how he’s amplifying his L5. It’s got a huge tone.
