| | lots of great players listed above...I can not add any to it ... I enjoy most of these and some I don't...
all are different and have much to say and they say it in their own way...which is great..isn't it...it would be awful is they all sounded the same....then it would be them and you...

| | Here is my Top 10:
Marty Grosz
Eddie Lang
Tony Marcus
Freddie Green
Teddy Bunn
Al Casey
Bucky Pizzarelli
Kenny Burrell
Grant Green
Wes Montgomery
and what the heck! another one: Ranger Doug
Now I have to stop but I could go on and on...
Just think of Charlie Christian, John Collins, Oscar Moore, Mimi Fox, Tiny Grimes (great bop stuff he's playing when not doing R&B), Chuck Wayne, Melvin Sparks (some excellent work as a sideman!), Sal Savadore, Jimmy Raney, Lenny Breau, Joe Pass, Emily Remler...

Reason: I rearranged the order of the Top 10 plus I added Ranger Doug

His album "Salvador plays the blues" always brings a smile on my face! (Like it did on his too if you can believe the album-cover ;-) | Agreed! I love that album. |
