How about Tony Purrone. He is superior to every guitarist you mentioned

Very nice list. I can't disagree with a whole of these selections. Damn, Jim Hall is awesome. When I read this it instantly reminded me to get out one of my old Jim Hall records. I love his recording of, You'd be So Nice to Come Home To. What a great player.

Here’s a couple I NEVER see mentioned – “High Contrast” by Gabor Szabo and Bobby Womack and “Darkness, Darkness” by Phil Upchurch – both all instrumental and on Blue Thumb and both produced by Tommy LiPuma –

Don’t be put off by Upchurch covering mor popsters like “Fire and Rain” or “You’ve Got a Friend” – remember the Crusaders w/ Larry Carlton and “So Far Away”? And, his covers of “Inner City Blues” and “Cold Sweat” pay the freight anyway…..

Szabo and Womack – can you say thai stick? You won’t regret this excursion…

Thank you.

I'll definitely check out Hall's "Live in Berlin".

I wonder how that Holdsworth album sound, mainstream and gentle?

(-;

Thank you!

I'd leave out Holdsworth and replace him with Joe Pass. Listen to anything he's recorded and be amazed!

This is a nice, informative piece. I would perhaps have included Gatton's "Relentless" in place of "Redneck Jazz", given a more straight ahead jazz orientation. Losing Emmons would besad, but, hey, you get Joey DiFrancesco, no small matter. And you can tell it's Gatton through all the bluesiness and jazziness, because there's always the specter of twang lurking and peeking around musical corners. I'll be looking at some of the others (I own several of them), but the trap is that there are already hundreds of items in the wish list queue, and listening to each new album seems to open up paths to dozens of other new and wonderful listening experiences. I'll turn sixty next March and have decided that I'm running out of time, even if they stop making new music now,and I feel fortunate that I can read at the same time as I listen to music, because they keep doing the same thing with books.

[...] Shadrick lists seven overlooked jazz guitar albums. I don’t think Jimmy Raney’s “Live in Tokyo” is exactly overlooked among [...]
