One of my favorite "great jazz guitar recordings" is Laurindo Almeida & Charlie Byrd, 'Tango', on Concord / Picante Jazz label. Two acoustic guitar masters, impeccably recorded. This is one of my go-to's when I evaluate any change in my system, or if I just want to dim the lights and enjoy some great music. It is Latin flavored jazz.
Looking for great jazz guitar recordings - any recommendations?
Hello All,
Here's the list I've put together so far, but I'm looking for more and better recordings... I want good music AND great recordings of such... I also use these as partial test tunes (streamed from Tidal in MQA) for evaluating sound quality.
Russ Freeman & the Rippingtons, the Album Topaz, Stories of the Painted Desert
Ron Cooley with Manheim Steamroller, the album Day Dreams
Michael Hedges, the album Aerial Boundaries (wow!)
Antoine Dufour, the single Talk
Gordon Giltrap, the album Fear of the Dark
Fourplay, the album Fourplay
Jenn Adams, the album Water, Blue Island (great recording)
Joe Bonamassa, the album Live from the Royal Albert Hall
John Williams, the album Guitar Transcriptions (I know this isn't jazz, but its so good)
Nils Lofgren, the album Acoustic Live, Keith Don't Go
Roger Shah and Sunlounger, A Balearic Dinner
What else should I add to my collection? What moves you?
