Podcast 420: Jonathan Stout

Meet Jonathan Stout, a Southern California-based jazz guitarist
best known as a bandleader in the swing dance world.

Jonathan's story is unlike any we've ever heard: Here's someone
who cites Kirk Hammett as an influence, along with Benny Goodman
guitarist Allan Reuss. He's a player, a scholar of early jazz
guitar, a drummer, and he can even get you out of a traffic
ticket (yep, he's also a lawyer). 



During our chat, we talk about the unique music requirements of
modern-day swing dances, we hear about Jonathan's favorite
vintage guitars, and learn why he's so obsessed with Reuss.
Plus a lot more... 


 


This is one of our favorite interviews to date and we think
you'll love it.
