Your experience with great Jazz guitar CD/SACD discs.


I have only listened to Jazz for around 55 years, so still a beginner.  I have some Johnny Smith and others you might know up to current players.  I am looking for any less commonly known Jazz guitar artists and their recordings.  I am thinking of minimal processed and leaning more towards standards and archtop electrics.  Thanks for any input you can suggest.  A player that I have enjoyed for many years is Ed Bickert...playing of all things a Fender Telecaster.

I was to see a Jazz guitar concert that featured 4 great players. Joe Pass ended up not being able to play because of ill health.  I believe he played an ES-175
Mark Whitfield and Russell Malone. Both are pretty much straight-ahead melodic players. As with most jazz musicians, they both get more experimental as time goes on. You have to find where in their discography they agree with you.
I very much agree with the choice of Russell Malone.  I was able to see/hear him play two time with Diana Krall.
