Recommend me some Jazz guitarists..

SuchFriendsAreDangerous · 06.08.2009, 02:23 PM

I love really good jazz guitar, but I am lost completely in the genre, I know nobody, I just hear things I like on the radio and I'd really like to get into some of it.

any good jazz guitar recommendations? (please, post links if you have the time

)

Unbelievable.

If I had a download link for Black WOman I'd post it, but alas I don't. Make sure you (and "you" means anyone who is reading this and hasn't heard it yet) check it out.

All you need is Lenny Breu.

"...I approach the guitar like a piano. I've reached a point where I transcend the instrument. A lot of the stuff I play on the 7-string guitar is supposed to be technically impossible, but I spent over twenty years figuring it out. I play the guitar like a piano, there's always two things going on at once. I'm thinking melody, but I'm also thinking of a background. I play the accompaniment on the low strings."

You have given out too much Reputation in the last 24 hours, try again later.

masayuki takayanagi, though his stuff is hard to find but worth diving into

while this dude tends to be more on the Zappa side of music then I'm looking for in jazz guitar (its not that I don't like Zappa, its just that I was looking for a smoother The Wave kinda jazz sound), however, this tune here is absolutely my thing.. some japanese no-wave Mass Projection

I'm looking for shit more like

Ron Affif

Ed Bickert

Pat Metheny and Mick Goodrick

Speaking of Sonny Sharrock, here's our homeboy Thurston Moore's tribute to him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pO9CnHtpd0

It's not all that great, but it's interesting to see him play that way.

keiji haino (when he's doing jazz or free improv of course)
fred frith
keith rowe
brian ruryk (canadian super guitarist, sometimes straight noise but always with a jazzy improvisational bent, his shit is uber-hard to find but i think freedom from might have some casettes of his left, you gotta hear him he's phenomenal)
john mclaughlin
taku sugimito
