no problem.
1.billy bauer-don't know a lot about him but he played a lot with lennie tristano
he's from the 50s and i think he has one record under his own name. this would go well w/ wes montgomer
2.johnny smith-don't know much about him. he is from the 50s so he is the middle point between charlie christian and wes montgomery. i think he tends to be somewhat mellow.
3.tal farlow-bebop guitar also from the 50s. i think he is probably a little more aggressive than johnny smith
get this-
-----red norvo trio w/ tal farlow and charles mingus------
4.jim hall!!!!-started in the late 50s and is still playing. definitely not avante garde but he touches on it here and there. he is not a flashy player but what
he plays is so perfect.
get this-
sonny rollins w/ jim hall-the bridge
5.grant green-60s soul jazz guitar. don't know much about him but he seems to be the man for that kind of playing.
??????
6.john mclaughlin-rooted in traditional jazz began really playing in the late 60s. was on the first "fusion" record-
get these-
tony williams lifetime- emergency----bad ass record!!! aggressive as fuck jazz/rock drumming with a hammond b3 organ and john mclaughlin on electric guitar. this shit gets pretty out! the whole record is very aggressive. get it!
john mclaughlin-extrapolation
7.mary halvorson - she's been playing nyc for the past 10 years or so. not a lot of traditional jazz with the swing rhythm tho it's buried in there somewhere. she writes really great songs that mix lots of stuff together noise/rock/jazz/etc....
this-
mary halvorson trio/quintet-saturn sings
8.kurt rosenwinkel - playing from the 90s till now. the jazz guitar player of the the last few generations. some really great modern jazz. a truly unique improviser and composer. he can play all of the old standards and sound true to the tradition while at the same time sounding completely of this time and not just a throw back.
this-
kurt rosenwinkel-the next step
9.nels cline-for me he is the perfect balance between sonic youth and jazz.
this-
nels cline trio- chest
