Hey Everyone
Wanted to pass along this list of the Top 100 Jazz Guitar Albums as voted on by members of a jazz-guitar forum. Might be a good intro to the genre for those just starting to check it out, and I'm hoping it will spark some lively conversation for fans of jazz guitar on this site. http://www.jazzguitar.be/blog/top-100-jazz-guitar-albums/ What do you think of the list? Any albums missing that you would include, or some that are on there that you think shouldn't be/ Share your thoughts below. -------------------- |

That's a great album! If you dig Django, check out some of Martin Taylor's Gypsy stuff, very cool, or Birelli Lagrene's Gypsy albums, burning material!

Good point about the fusion albums. What are some of the albums you feel should be on there?

This is very interesting. I have never been very involved in Jazz music so this list is very useful for me! Thanks!

I think he's known a bit, at least among jazz fans, but you're right, he's bigger over here in Europe than back in NA. At least for now!

Fun to read. I have a love/hate relationship with lists like that
 If Elegant Gypsy and Metal Fatigue (both great! by the way) get to make the top two on a 'jazz' list then it needs to include some Mahavishnu Orchestra and either Blow by Blow or Wired from Jeff Beck (these are way jazzier than most of the 'fusion' that is listed). I would add Belgian guitarist Rene Tomas (gigged and recorded with most of the touring american 'greats' when they were in Europe) also Gabor Szabo, Mark Ribot, Lonnie Johnson, Bill Connors (RTF - IMO much cooler than Al D. in that band), Eldon Shamblin and Jimmy Wyble (Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys - highly innovative and influential). And where the hell is Chet Atkins? What, he's not as jazzy as Al DiMeola or Holdsworth - ? *Also, a small point - 'Smokin at the Half-Note' is not a Wes record. It's a Wynton Kelly album that (Wes plays on). This post has been edited by klasaine: Jun 29 2013, 04:46 PM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine
