Im confused - is this a poll for best jazz guitarists, or best bands with great jazz guitar players, or just jazz albums?

Eitherway, one of the greatest jazz fusion guitar players - Greg Howe. Any album by him will is good but id recommend his latest "sound proof".

Next man who certainly deserves recognition with the jazz guitar community is Tommy Emmanuel - too many albums to choose from, so many great pieces of music.

albums. that's why the thread says, y'know, top 100 jazz guitar albums.

hey a few more:

the first pat metheny group album (y'know, the one with phase dance) should be on here.

as far as joe pass albums go, i really like the stuff he did with ella...more subdued...joe was great, but sometimes he seemed bent on showing you everything he could do, especially on the solo records-- on the record with ella you could get an idea of his greatness without being beat over the head with it.

i also love all the records doug raney made with chet baker (the touch of your lips, someday my prince will come, and this is always)

Default Top 100 Guitarists

That is a tough question but here are a few of my favorites:
Les Paul- Lester & Chester, Les Paul Now, How High The Moon w/Mary Ford.
Django Reinhardt: Nuages (one of the most beautiful ballads I ever heard)
Charlie Byrd: Jazz Samba w/Stan Getz.
Howard Roberts: Is a dirty guitar player.
Kenny Burrell: All Blues (absolutely FANTASTIC).
Wes Montgomery: (anything by him as I consider him to be the Godfather of the new players such as George Benson,Larry Carlton, Lee Ritenour to name a few).
Gabor Szabo:I love his recording of Breezin' he recorded it before George Benson.
George Barnes: His early work sounded a lot like Les Paul. I also like his work with Bucky Pizzerelli.
Johnny Smith:The Best Chord Melody Player Ever.

I will introduce a new guitarist to the mix the one of the father's of Jamaican SKA music which has some roots in JAZZ. The guitarist name is Earnest Ranglin and the Album is The Ultimate Roots Ranglin. He also has one called Roots Ranglin. If you want to see samples of his playing go to youtube and search on Earnest Ranglin. He does a song with just him and a bass player called ranglin live glastonberry.
