Hi there,
what you are planning is of course a pretty questionable adventure. One would have better put in a poll or something like that and ask the members directly what their favorite albums are. Mh. But sill, here's some
additional suggestions, very subjectivechoice, of course, as all other will
be as well:
- Barney Kessel, Poll Winners
- Jim Hall in Art Farmer Quartet Live at the Half Note, esp. because of
"Stompin' a the Savoy"
- Kim Hall "Live" in Toronto
- Wes & Wynton Kelly, Smokin' at the Half Note
- Barney Kessel,m Working Out with the BK Quartet
- 6-LP-Set "The Jazz Guitar" (1983)
- Guitar Player - an Album of Contempoprary Style by Modern Masters
('77)
- The Jazz Guitar Album (2 LP, Verve)
- The Concord Jazz Guitar Collection 1 & 2
- Fun on the Frets (Antho)
- Swing to Bop - Guitars in Flight
________
So, the question remains: Where to start and where to end? Eddie Lang, Lonnie Johnson, Frank Zappa? So let's hope yr request will have a good substantial response, i.e. as many items as possible.
Cheers,
alex

Great list - some new names for me to check out. I'd add:
Sylvain Luc - Trio Sud
Luiz Bonfa - Jacaranda
Baden Powell - At the Rio Jazz Club
Neal Alger - guitarist with Patricia Barber's band. Try her A Fortnight in France, for example.

Hi, Richard,
yep, your idea to put Sylvain in, is great. I have just reviewed his latest
CD for a German jazz mag, and I think him absolutely great and original.
What abhout Lionel Louke?
What about Martin Taylor?
What about Herb Ellis w. Peterson at the Shakespeare Fest?
What about the Great Guitars?
What about Friday in San Francisco?
What about Baden Powell's very first album Tristeza?
What about Zoller's revolutionary Horizon Beyond?
What about the forgotten René Thomas?
What about Cal Collins on the Concrd label during the 70s/80s?
And so on, endlessly. I cd go on no-stop adding names and recordings
to this list, but I think I'd better quit and let all others put their proposals in.
Cheers,
alex

Alex, I saw Sylvain Luc recently in Agde, talking and playing. He said ' I am not a jazz guitarist, I am an improvising guitarist'. Whatever, he should be in the list. Yes to your other suggestions!

I'm a bit late to the party, so I think everything has probably been mentioned by now. I didn't notice any mention of Joe Diorio though. I would add one of his trio recordings.

Like all of us I do love the anglo american Blues and Jazz music, but by reeding all this posted highlights I am completly missing Django Reinhardt and his inheritance like Biréli Langrène and Sylvain Luc - my recommendation > the Gypsy Project!!!
Beside those masters I would highly recommend Antony Wilson - known as a sideman of Diana Krall... (the girl in the other room)
And Dominic Miller known as a sideman of Sting...
Jeff Beck one of the most expressive and most individualistic players still!!!
(Watch him performing with the 23 year old Tal Wilkenfield female bass player at Crossroads 2007 festival).
Aswell I am missing Ry Cooder, who is probably one of the most versatily performers of today.
My favorite Guitarist from Brazil is Yamandú Costa - watch him playing "Carinhoso" on youtube... (He plays Choro music on a 7 string classical guitar wich is typical for this style, wich usualy never plays with a double bass.)
End before I stop here I have to make a bow for Mr. Chet Atkins who is more know as a country and western performer but is an outstanding Jazz Guitarist (14 Grammy Awards)(1967 - 1988 - 9 x Instrumentalist of the Year)
Thats for now folks

Here's my pennys worth
Midnight Blue and Guitar forms,- Kenny Burrell (sweet sounds,mmm)

In a silent way, -Miles Davies feat. John McLaughlin (texture and flavour)

Gypsy Project & Friends, -Bireli Lagrene (all that with just 4 fingers)
Anything with Stochelo Rosenberg (all that without reading music)
