Please Recommend a Jazz Player

[strat6]

I've got all styles of music covered and I have my favorites- except when it comes to Jazz! Someone please recommend to me a jazz band or player that is heavy in guitar. I am looking for something to jam with or use as a strong influence.

Thanks!

Charlie Hunter (http://www.charliehunter.com) is always up to something cool.

He plays very lively, spontaneous, interesting Jazz on top of being a general freak of nature and one of Satriani's better students.

Wes Montgomery... He's pretty cool

[The Ace]

Joe Pass, Tal Farlow, Charie Christian, Barney Kessel, Pat Martino, Jimmy Raney... all of these are great starting places when looking at jazz guitar.

Joe PAss is mean and most of his music is just guitar.

Larry Carlton. His music is kindof a mix between jazz blues and rock. Most of it is just instrumental guitar work.

Thanks for the recommendations- I'm off to the record store!
