Very cool! Thanks for the recommendation, I'll be purchasing that disc immediately.
I love traditional and conventional jazz styles, but occasionally, I get the mood to explore something really mind-bending. This should really do the trick.

There's also Joe Diorio, who has a bunch of solo albums. The guy is a huge fan of really open lines. Metheny got a lot of stuff from this guy when he was in Miami. He's not as modern as much guys, but he opened up the door for a lot of players in terms of modernity, lots of large interval stuff.
Then lastly, there's Peter Mazza. I'm not sure if he has a solo album or not, but he is probably the most inventive out of all the people I've heard. He can do so much I don't even like how he plays, but the things he can do, technically and theoretically, are just out of my mind completely. He has a bunch of videos on youtube. More notably, he has Stella By Starlight and Body and Soul. He plays Stella as a slow rubato piece, and places so many chord substitutions in the piece that there's not beat left without a chord, a different chord. Then there's Body and Soul where he plays, again, by himself, as a bossa feel, keeping rhythm, adding tons of subs, and plays the melody.
I suggest you listen to all these guys.

Maybe Ken Hatfield and John Stowell?
Also, if you Like Metheny's non-solo material, but would like to hear it played as a solo guitar, "Images of Metheney" by Jason Vieaux.Last edited by Chrome; 07-25-2012 at 04:12 PM.

All Jim Hall and Bill Frisell solo pieces .
Those albums are not really in solo context because of the overdubs but they are all about guitar ...
Jim Hall inspirations and dedications
Bill Frisell gost town, Masada guitars .
John Mc Laughlin my goals beyond
Pat Metheny New Chautauqua
John Abercrombie Characters
etc...
and here is the one I know more than others :
iTunes - Musique - Thanks par Philippe Canovas
-
Both Peter Mazza and Jonathan Kreisberg have solo albums recorded and coming out soon.
-
I do like PMs "One Quiet Night". I enjoy hearing someone take non-jazz forms and make something improvisational and harmonically interesting, without completely losing touch with the original song.

This is a great thread for me since I am from Cincinnati and knew both Cal Collins and Kenny Poole. Cal was of course not as active during the period being much older so it was always a special treat when he came out.
Kenny played once a week in a restaurant I worked at for quite a while so I became very familiar with his repertoire. Kind of sad though that a world-class solo jazz player had no better prospects than playing for $50 in a small restaurant.

Many of my favorites already have been mentioned. Here are a few more keepers...
Bucky Pizzarelli -April Kisses
Frank Vignola -100 years of Django
Johnny Smith/George Van Eps - Legends
Jimmy Bruno - Solo
Martin Taylor - In Concert
Joe Pass - Songs for Ellen
-
Ben Monder.
Wayne Krantz.
Lenny Breau 'cabin fever' .
Bill frisell 'rambler' (although not a solo album, his playing is killer diller on every track)

Ben Monder's trio recordings all have amazing solo pieces, original and as modern as you can get. And if you ever come across it, Hal Galper's Ivory Forest has a piece Monk's Mood, with John Scofield playing a chord solo. That one's a keeper. Within Jon Kreisberg's recordings you'll find gorgeous examples of solo playing, he does a Stardust on one of them. Bill Connors's Theme To The Guardian is like Ralph Towner meets Bill Frisell. And speaking of which, In Line by Bill Frisell is heart breakingly beautiful as is his Days Of Wine and Roses solo on Is That You.
