Roland Dyens is great at mixing classical and jazz guitar, his albums are a joy to listen to!

Mr. Buzzurro has some fantastic chops.

Yes indeed. Can't remember another solo guitar player who who swings so hard, too. At the beginning I thought "there must be a bass and drums somewhere".

I like and listen to this gentlemen, who use more or less often a classical guitar for jazz: Antoine Boyer, Lucas Brar, Sylvain Luc...

I am a fan of Romero Lubambo’s playing and teaching

I've always envied classical guitarists' right hand-technique!

Here's a nice nylon-string guitar jazz solo by a young Romero Lubambo! (at 2:22)

Anthony Sidney is an American Classical Guitarist/Composer who also plays Blues, Rock and Jazz. He was the guitarist in a 1970's, very popular Italian "Jazz-Rock" band called Perigeo.

In this tune (that I wrote) he plays nylon-string suitar, while I (Francesco Barberini) play a jazzbox (with a plectrum).

This was part of an album/project he recorded in 2014, where he asked me to contribute both on guitar and composition.

My first inspiration was Charlie Byrd, not to mention Louis Bonfa, Laurindo Almeida, Bola Sete, and, of course, Baden Powell. And, I do appreciate Chet Atkin's contribution to the genre.

I love Breau, though he uses a thumbpick and all the others use the classical style, fingers only, no picks. But, as a guitarist, he is among the greatest guitarists in the finger style that i can think of.
