| 3 great guitar recordings... I love the thread, you guys covered most of the great ones... But there are three more great guitar performances on non guitar albums you should hear. Tiny Grimes on Colman Hawkins 'Hawk Eyes" Grant Green on Hank Mobley's "Workout" and my favorite Danny Gatton on "New Your Stories" |

 100 jazz guitar albums I found this thread considerably more interesting for the artists/albums that I wasn't aware of than those that I was (and my collection runs pretty deep). Also, kudos to all for just remembering many of the lesser appreciated players than the likes of Farlow, Montgomery, Pass, and Reinhardt... I assume that, like me, many of you are scrambling to add these to your collections. Some honorable mentions (or in this case not mentioned), any of which deserve a spot in a top 100 list: Oscar Aleman David T. Walker Phil Upchurch (Darkness, Darkness!!) Cornell Dupree Eric Gale Don Latarski (great instructional books as well) Joe Cinderella Joe Puma John Tropea Ray Gomez(!!) Mary Osborne Billy Baur Thornell Schwartz (w/Monk) Oscar Moore (W/Nat King Cole) Gabor Szabo (did get mentioned w/Chico) Bela Flek (well it's almost a guitar) Tony Rice w/ Grisman Quintet Victor Lemonte Wooten (plays as though it had 6 strings) King Sunny Ade (sounds like jazz to me) etc, etc..  |

| Rene Thomas: Guitar Groove, absolutely essential! Kenny Burrell: Live at the Village Vangard, recorded when he was only 25! Jim Hall: Live and also Jazz Guitar Jim Hall Trio, which was his first LP. Jimmy Raney, Live in Paris and with Sonny Clark, two early Raney albums. Joe Pass: Catch Me (first album) and For Djangod, both early Pass but the best; also Intercontinental is very good on MPS Regards, Byron Atkins |

| Mike Walker - 'Madhouse and The Whole Thing There' Mike Walker has played and recorded with George Russell, Peter Erskine, Steve Swallow, Kenny Wheeler, John Taylor and performed with Dave Holland, Tal Farlow, Vince Mendoza, Anthony Braxton, Bill Frisell and many others. An unassuming yet ubiquitous player (and ubiquitous for a reason.) I think Mike warrants consideration for this list.

| I also wish to add Derek Trucks songlines to this forum, although he is not technically jazz, but very musical and compelling to listen to. He is the most original jazz/rock/blues guitar player of his generation. i have seen afew of his shows and he never fails to give me goosebump. |

| I personally like "Solo Flight," with Charlie Christian and Benny Carter. I like "King of the Delta Blues Singers" by Robert Johnson, and anything by Wes Montgomery or Nick Cassarino. I don't really understand this whole Pat Metheny craze though. I've listened to some and it seems kind of muzaky, if that's a word. Maybe I've been listening to the wrong stuff. I also like Moonlight in Vermont by Johnny Smith. |
