    I'm brand new to the forum and still in my infancy of learning about jazz guitar. Therefore, I'm not knowledgeable enough to make a suggestion to the top 100 list.

    I do, however, have a question. I haven't yet seen any mention of a Les Paul recording to the list. Are there any worthy of the top 100? If not, then why?

    Thanks,
    Mike

    Heh Guys, I'd like to throw a vote for Wes' Smoking at the Half Note. Something about that live vibe that was special. Now it may be out of print but Columbia had a double album of most of the really great Charlie Christian stuff. Also we've got to get Django on there somehow, right? Finally, a personal favorite Tiny grimes. He should be represented for just being the swinging-est cat ever.

    I'm new, too, but am interested in any remarks that may be made by these jazz peeps. I've never considered Les Paul to be a jazz man, per se. I've always thought of him as a 'pop' guitarist. He worked with Jim Atkins, Chet's big brother, with that trio and Jim was a good jazz player as well as a big band guitarist but Les?........ I don't think he was considered a jazz guitarist.

    We cannot have a 100 top jazz guitar albums without including Tal Farlow. Maybe include The Complete Verve Tal Farlow Sessions. Any other suggestions for the best Tal Farlow representation?
    Also we will need representative titles from Mundel Lowe, Herb Ellis, Johnny Smith, George Van Eps and Kenny Burrell.

    Hi, this is my first post. I had to chip in because I don't think anyone has mentioned one of my favourite jazz guitar albums of all time: For Django by the great Joe Pass. I had the privilege of seeing him live back in the 80s and it was the most impressive playing I've ever seen and heard. For Django is his best, most complete album IMHO.

    Most of the records I would have mentioned are here already, so I'll just give a shout for Oscar Moore - his work with the Nat King Cole Trio is fine. Also, Paul Desmond's Live album has some beautiful playing from Ed Bickert.
