Jazz Guitar

I love jazz (mainly horns). I have lots of piano and horn based jazz. I would relly like to get some of the great guitar based jazz that I hear from time to time.

Please give any recomendations you may have. Sound quality is second priority to content. Old recordings of less than extraordinary sound quality are fine.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

grant green and kenny burrell are favorites. i have also recently purchased the great guitars which features charlie byrd, heb ellis and barney kessel. it is pretty good but the origional concord recoring featuring joe pass and herb ellis is superb.
