| | Slow down, guys. I"m at work. I got Django on there. He's got numerous albums. He had to be on there.
If guys like Joe Pass, Wes Montgomery and Jim Hall are considered,"old school", what does that make Django? |

| | jim hall would be my next pick. folks consider him old school, but he's the true bridge to modern guitar playing and writing, and from my perspective, the most important jazz guitar player in the last 50 years. |
