Jazz Guitar

Assuming a more traditional style, and perhaps some lesser known titles from the 'usual suspects':

• Wes Montgomery - 'Smokin' at the Half Note' and 'Far Wes'
• Lenny Breau - 'Cabin Fever' and 'The Last Sessions'
• Tal Farlow - 'The Swinging Guitar of Tal Farlow' and 'The Return of Tal Farlow'
• Gene Bertoncini - 'Body and Soul'
• Joe Pass - 'Virtuoso'
• Bireli Lagrene - 'Standards'
• Tiny Grimes - 'Blues Groove' with Coleman Hawkins
• Pat Metheny - 'Bright Size Life'
• Hank Garland - 'Move! The Guitar Artistry of Hank Garland'
• Pat Martino - 'Footprints'
• Jimmy Raney - 'A'
• Johnny Smith - 'Moonlight in Vermont' with Stan Getz
• Grant Green - 'Idle Moments'

Zaikesman - interesting commentary. I don't wish to challenge anything you say, however I find that some artists are capable of providing a sound much more embodied than typical. Although probably not considered mainstream or traditional 'jazz' guitarists, Tuck Andress and Michael Hedges are very percussive in their playing and certainly provide a more embodied sound in their solo endeavors. As a guitarist myself, I am often fascinated by the fact that they are playing solo and recording a single track at times. You mention the Hammond organ as well. Jimmy Smith simultaneously utilized his foot pedals to perform bass lines that sounded as if there were a standup player jamming next to him. In short, artists that are/were capable of providing huge sound when soloing.
