John is a American microtonal guitarist and a pioneer of refretted fingerboards, and worked with many of the great American composers whose music uses just tunings. He is the founder of the original MicroFest in the United States and wrote an important article on Just Intonation and Guitar in the Accoustic Guitar magazine in the early 90′s. This concert includes works specially written for him by Lou Harrison, Terry Riley, and Ben Johnston.
