Benson's early jazz recordings with verve, and his "Sunday Afternoon" recordings. Imaginative and technically brilliant.
Pat Martino!! Any of it, but particularly pre-accident. "Exit". DIstinctive chromatic soloing.
Joe Pass "Virtuoso" albums. Can get a little repetitive, but it's a really good trick to repeat.
Tal Farlow. Unique sound, if sometimes a little sloppy.
Among current guitarists, you might check out Freddie Bryant.
Tommy Emmanuel not exactly jazz, but if you like guitar, gotta check that out.
