Looking for Jazz emsembles with a guitar flair

As for more current artists, Jake Langley is a great guitarist that you might look into.

Not sure if it qualifies but Diana Krall's guitarist, Anthony Wilson kicks some serious pick on her last two albums. He also has a number of his own with ensembles that might appeal to you though more in the modern vein

I would suggest checking out Jimmy Bruno if you haven't done so already.

I know i'm forgetting a bunch of great ones, but you might like these:
Jackie King... Moon Magic
Jarek Smietana... Cooperation
Ron Affif... 52nd Street
Larry Koonse... Americana
Joe Diorio... Narayani
Skip Heller... Fake Book
Garrison Fewell... Are You Afraid of the Dark?

Follow Ckorody's advice and get the Anthony Wilson solo discs!

there's a new box set of "jazz guitar" came out a few months ago $40 - looked great from the cover

Oscar Peterson when Joe Pass and Niels Henning are with him are stellar discs if you don't know about them

Wes of course, Steve Masakowski from Astral Project
is Pat Methany too sugar coated for you? Bill Frisell
