Hi from Lyons, France. Thank you for letting me share this moment with you. This the first time I take part in a forum and I'm an absolute beginner with smileys, icons or whatever. It's never too late.
From a jazz guitar lover's point of view, If I can add two names in the list of guitar players I have already seen, I will say Django Reinhardt for many of his recordings and René Thomas for Greetings

back in the 50/60's there was this gospel / jazz singer and guitar playing woman "Sister Rosetta Tharpe" ; go look her up on YouTube and be entertained. See "That's All / Didn't it Rain" with Rosetta Tharpe and Chicago Blues All-Stars. Early 70’s concert at the Berliner Jazz Festival. Tharpe is playing her Gibson Barney Kessel. T-Bone Walker?, guitar; Lafayette Leake (or Big Maceo Merriweather), piano; Clifton James, drums; Willie Dixon, bass; Walker Horton, harmonica. O.K. go ahead and laugh a little...

Lee Ritenour original founding member of the group "Fourplay".
Lee Ritenour has been replaced by Larry Carlton, who has recorded with Lee in the past.
If you have not heard Fourplay take a listen to the band at the 2008 Tokyo Jazz 2008 featuring Larry Carlton and the increadable Nathan East (Base - bio - The Official Site of Fourplay Jazz ) doing a Lee Ritenour tune.
Lee Ritenour - Bali Run - Youtube

George Benson: Bad Benson. I think this was later released under the title Take Five - for good reason, because the performance of Take Five on this album is astounding.

jazz albums,
Ive got more then a few.
So I will give you some of my favorits
Lee Ritenour Wes Bound
Lee Ritenour Alive in L.A
Larry carlton deep in to it
John Patitucci Mistura fina
Tom kennedy basses loaded
Dave weckl band live and verry plugged in
Return to forever musicmagic
Chic Corea now he sings, now he sobs
Chic corea electric band paint the world
Mike stern voices
Dexter gordon GO GO
John coltraine Blue train
With most of these artist you can't easely go wrong, lee ritenour has only good stuff, larry carlton is a verry verry talented guitarist too,( check out the cd of thos two guys together larry and lee it's amazing ) for the more advanced listener and player I would recomend chic corea but then again the more advanced listener already knows his music. John Coltraine is a sax player but it's real jazz, verry free. Not all of these guys are guitarists there are bass players and drum players sax players but I think its a good collection also check out Al Di Meola , John Mclaughlin and his mahavishnu orchestra. Have fun !!!!
@ MOD : will there come a list with all the albums so we can see what the list has become and had out to the music store
