@folkfreak Halvorson's output is absolutely stunning. Easily one of my all time favorite guitarists. I love the two Thumbscrew albums that came out last year. And her duo album with Bill Frisell on Tzadik is one of my favorite albums in recent years.
Looking for great jazz guitar recordings - any recommendations?
Hello All,
Here's the list I've put together so far, but I'm looking for more and better recordings... I want good music AND great recordings of such... I also use these as partial test tunes (streamed from Tidal in MQA) for evaluating sound quality.
Russ Freeman & the Rippingtons, the Album Topaz, Stories of the Painted Desert
Ron Cooley with Manheim Steamroller, the album Day Dreams
Michael Hedges, the album Aerial Boundaries (wow!)
Antoine Dufour, the single Talk
Gordon Giltrap, the album Fear of the Dark
Fourplay, the album Fourplay
Jenn Adams, the album Water, Blue Island (great recording)
Joe Bonamassa, the album Live from the Royal Albert Hall
John Williams, the album Guitar Transcriptions (I know this isn't jazz, but its so good)
Nils Lofgren, the album Acoustic Live, Keith Don't Go
Roger Shah and Sunlounger, A Balearic Dinner
What else should I add to my collection? What moves you?

+3 or 4 for "Friday Night In San Francisco". Best acoustic trio performance I’ve ever seen and/or heard. Youtube video of the concert doesn't do it justice. Haven't seen any other. "Chester and Lester" is good stuff. I’m a Grant Green fan, as of Wes Montgomery. And just for fun, someone mentioned Stanley Jordan above. Ever see someone play two guitars simultaneously? Enjoy. https://youtu.be/NeooHiX4oH0 |
+1 for Passion, Grace and Fire Jim Hall Trio: Live! John McLaughlin: My Goal’s Beyond Joe Pass: Virtuoso (don’t get the acoustic one, better tone on the electric ones) in a fusion vein: Miles Davis: A Tribute to Jack Johnson (with John McLaughlin) Mahavishnu Orchestra: The Inner Mounting Flame or Birds of Fire Oz Noy Trio: Live in Asia |
