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?

+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
+1 OZ NOY
I don't think anyone mentioned Mike Bloomfield 

and as I reread the post you were looking for Jazz recordings ….sorry.

Mcoy Tyner - Guitars  two disc set is a joy to listen to and watch 
The question is sort of like, 'What are your 1000 favorite albums?'  Nonetheless, my 3 cents:

Kenny Burrell: many mentions above, but my favorite is Guitar Forms, a 1965 collaboration with Gil Evans

Al DiMeola: Splendido Hotel, 1980 is a must-have!  Get the 2016 Speakers Corner remaster!

Bottleneck John: All Around John on Opus 3, LP 23001 ... don't think about it, just get it!  He plays a different guitar on each track.
