Jazz Guitar


I love jazz (mainly horns). I have lots of piano and horn based jazz. I would relly like to get some of the great guitar based jazz that I hear from time to time.

Please give any recomendations you may have. Sound quality is second priority to content. Old recordings of less than extraordinary sound quality are fine.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Joe Pass lots of chord melody stuff. One of the greats.

Wes Montgomery the undisputed king of jazz guitar. get the earlier stuff

Herb Ellis..some nice swing stuff, especially paired up with Joe pass

Duke Robillard modern player with a solid hold of old school swing. He also does a lot of blues so check what you are getting. After hours swing session is good.

Grant Green, Charlie Christian...old school big band. Charlie was essentialy the father of melodic single line jazz guitar.

Charlie Hunter...new school. He plays melody, bass lines and chords all at the same time on a custom fan fretted 7 strings..scary.

John Scofield, Pat Metheny, Al DiMeola,..very good modern fusion type players
