Jazz Guitar


I love jazz (mainly horns). I have lots of piano and horn based jazz. I would relly like to get some of the great guitar based jazz that I hear from time to time.

Please give any recomendations you may have. Sound quality is second priority to content. Old recordings of less than extraordinary sound quality are fine.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

I too find Bldadr's comments interesting; I listened to some clips of the suggestions above and they were not what I was expecting and I don't think they'd be my cup-o-tea either.
Joe Pass is a must, which deos not mean the others should be ingored. Kenny Burrell and Lenny Breau should be added to the list.
Tal Farlow-The Swinging Guitar Of Tal Farlow...Grant Green-Idle Moments...Kenny Burrell-Soulero & Midnight Blue...Mark Whitfield-The Marksman
