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.
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.
