I like Oscar Peterson, Jr., jazz pianist, so I really like this album:
I have their Porgy and Bess album. Its great.
I also have a Sarah Vaughan album with Pass and Peterson. I might bust that one out tonight.

I saw him in concert a couple times, once at Royce Hall at UCLA. Some funny looking little bald guy with a mustache comes walking up to me about 30 minutes before showtime and asks me where Royce Hall is. So I walk him there.
"Thanks," he says.
"My pleasure, Joe," I reply.
True story. Truly gifted player he was.

Check out Jim Hall.

Joe Pass is awesome, but with exception to Virtuouso, there is something about his tone that is off putting for me. Almost like the strings are somehow flabby and dank. I don't know.
I'm more of a Wes Montgomery, Grant Green, Kenny Burrell kind of guy myself. Jim Hall, and Pat Martino are good too.

Check out Lenny Breau, he considered the guitar like a piano. Rhythm and melody, one instrument, one guy. Incredible player.

Wow, thats a great story.
For others who responded, I appreciate the suggestions. Some I knew, some I didn't, but they were all good.

No one ever mentions Al Di Meola, his playing has a noticeable Mediterranean influence, I like it.
Stanley Clarke, Al Di Meola & Jean-Luc Ponty The Rite Of Strings

frick yes. Although, it's not your hard bop jazz, it's still fricking great. Have you ever listened to Friday Night in San Francisco, the live album with Al Di Meola, Paco de Lucia, and John McLaughlin? It's pretty much the single greatest guitar album of all time.

Now I'm back in jazz guitar mode.
So check this shite out.
Grant Green - My Favorite Things (1964) - While Coltrane's version probably gets more recognition, I prefer the flow that Grant (guitar) & Tyner (piano) exhibit here. Also Elvin fricking Jones on the drums. Might be my all-time favorite jazz quartet.
Grant Green - Fancy Free (1972) - From the Live at the Lighthouse album. It's more along the lines of jazz-funk fusion, but performance is so awesome. Grant's guitar tone here reminds me of Carlos Santana. This is latter years Grant Green stuff, who really helped pioneer this sub-genre.
Pat Martino - East (1968) - Drug-induced hard bop.
Joe Pass - All the Things You Are (1973) - One of the classics. All the Things You Are has probably made more people want to play jazz than any other song. This arrangement is all solo, and is my preferred tone of Joe's. They say he got it by playing his Gibson ES175 unplugged, and mic'd it instead.

I always loved his album Elegant Gypsy, still play it often, however, from numerous sources its seems he also my have the biggest ego of anyone that ever picked up a guitar.

Check out Jim Hall.
