| top 100 huh? just a few thoughts Bucky and John Pizzarelli - Contrasts (you get two greats in one) Al DiMeola, John McLaughlin, Paco DeLucia - Friday Night in San Francisco Kenny Burrell - Midnight Blue and --- don't laugh --- I get a real kick watching her. back in the 50/60's there was this gospel / jazz singer and guitar playing woman "Sister Rosetta Tharpe" ; go look her up on YouTube and be entertained. See "That's All / Didn't it Rain" with Rosetta Tharpe and Chicago Blues All-Stars. Early 70’s concert at the Berliner Jazz Festival. Tharpe is playing her Gibson Barney Kessel. T-Bone Walker?, guitar; Lafayette Leake (or Big Maceo Merriweather), piano; Clifton James, drums; Willie Dixon, bass; Walker Horton, harmonica. O.K. go ahead and laugh a little... --first time post --mike |

| My Favs In no particular order The bridge by sonny rollins (some of jim hall's finest playing) Jim Hall Live Boss Guitar by Wes Montgomery That's uptown by george benson (the cookbook is dope as well) Bright Size Life by the Pat Methany Group Man from two worlds by chico hamilton (a pre cheesy fusion Gabor Szabo) Beneath the Bassline by Ernest Ranglin, don't be fooled by the Ernest's history with the Skatalites, the man can play Kenny Burrell and John Coltrane, nuff said Last edited by DC Ehm : 10-26-2009 at 03:47 PM. Reason: adding some content |

| Lee Ritenour - Rit's House. YouTube - LEE RITENOUR- condor Lee Ritenour original founding member of the group "Fourplay". Lee Ritenour has been replaced by Larry Carlton, who has recorded with Lee in the past. If you have not heard Fourplay take a listen to the band at the 2008 Tokyo Jazz 2008 featuring Larry Carlton and the increadable Nathan East (Base - bio - The Official Site of Fourplay Jazz ) doing a Lee Ritenour tune. Lee Ritenour - Bali Run - Youtube YouTube - Fourplay - Bali Run Last edited by Smartdiamond : 10-26-2009 at 04:08 PM. Reason: Update, Fourplay has taken vids off "Tokyo 2008 Jazz" off youtube, too bad, they were great. |

| jazz albums, Ive got more then a few. So I will give you some of my favorits Lee Ritenour Wes Bound Lee Ritenour Alive in L.A Larry carlton deep in to it John Patitucci Mistura fina Tom kennedy basses loaded Dave weckl band live and verry plugged in Return to forever musicmagic Chic Corea now he sings, now he sobs Chic corea electric band paint the world Mike stern voices Dexter gordon GO GO John coltraine Blue train With most of these artist you can't easely go wrong, lee ritenour has only good stuff, larry carlton is a verry verry talented guitarist too,( check out the cd of thos two guys together larry and lee it's amazing ) for the more advanced listener and player I would recomend chic corea but then again the more advanced listener already knows his music. John Coltraine is a sax player but it's real jazz, verry free. Not all of these guys are guitarists there are bass players and drum players sax players but I think its a good collection also check out Al Di Meola , John Mclaughlin and his mahavishnu orchestra. Have fun !!!! @ MOD : will there come a list with all the albums so we can see what the list has become and had out to the music store |

 A piano is sort of like a guitar right...turned over, with more strings, and keys, and pedals, hammers, no fretboard... |
