Your experience with great Jazz guitar CD/SACD discs.


I have only listened to Jazz for around 55 years, so still a beginner.  I have some Johnny Smith and others you might know up to current players.  I am looking for any less commonly known Jazz guitar artists and their recordings.  I am thinking of minimal processed and leaning more towards standards and archtop electrics.  Thanks for any input you can suggest.  A player that I have enjoyed for many years is Ed Bickert...playing of all things a Fender Telecaster.

I very much agree with the choice of Russell Malone.  I was able to see/hear him play two time with Diana Krall. 

Check out Vic Juris. And with regard to Joe Pass, the duet albums with NHOP—Chops and Northsea Nights—are first rate.
Just in case this player isn't in your collection:
