I wouldn't say it's as good as "Guitar Artistry" but definitely worth owning if you can pick one up at a reasonable cost. I just saw a copy on Ebay in NM condition for $10 buy it now. Check it out.

I've heard them all, and his best by far IMO is "Live at the Village Vanguard." A total classic. Just one of the slowest, mellowest, most relaxing and beautiful albums of all time. Amazing to me how it continues to be overlooked.
