John Stowell is a unique jazz guitarist influenced as much by pianists and horn players as he is by guitarists. His original take on harmony, chords and improvisation sets him apart. John has taught internationally for 30 years in every educational setting. His clinics are informal, hands-on and informative. In addition to music theory and guidelines for improvisation, John shares his professional experience with the business of music. "In the age of mediocrity and clones, John Stowell's uniqueness and originality is a breath of fresh air. I love playing with him." - Paul Horn
