They may need be audiophile recordings, but if you want to hear incredible jazz guitar, pick up some Django Reinhardt recordings. His work with Stephane Grappelli in particular is noteworthy. I also second Redkiwi's recommendation of Joe Pass. He was remarkable. I have a lot of both of their works. Can't get too much.
Great Acoustic Guitar Recordings
I've got a Michael Hedges ("Aerial Boundaries") and diMeola/deLucia/McLaughlin CD ("Friday Night In San Francisco"), and I'm looking to expand my collection. I truly enjoy the latter CD. Hedges is a little theedy-weedy for me though Any other suggestions you guys can turn me on to? Hedges is a little boring for my taste. Something that kicks over something entirely sedate is what I'm after. Don't get me wrong. I'm not looking for acoustic speed metal. ;) And try to hold off on the suggestions if there's singing involved. Other than that, hook me up with some new music to buy!
