Guitar Man: The Story of George Van Eps

By Buck and Tom McNichol

Harrison Stephens was a journalist who was also a jazz guitarist. He was influenced by the legendary George Van Eps, who had played with big-name bands and on dozens of records and soundtracks, and was perhaps best-known as the "Father of the Seven-String Guitar". Stephens set out to write a biography of Mr. Van Eps, and in the late 1980s and early '90s, the two met every Thursday for a couple of years and had conversations about Van Eps's remarkable career. This manuscript was the first draft of the book that was shaped from those stories. Not published until now, the original document was found in Mr. Stephens's desk following his death in 2015.
