    Lately I've been in a guitar mood, can anyone recommend some good jazz guitarists?
    Vocal-less preferably.

    If you want to hear some INSANE guitar stuff, check out
    Pat Metheny and John Scofield (they also have a collaboration out, an album called "I Can See Your House From Here").

    But make sure you lock up your guitar first, coz you'll never want to play again :D

    Kenny Burrell's Guitar forms is a famous album with string arrangments by Gil Evans.

    If your into Miles Davis albums like Porgy and Bess you will love this.

    you can hear some samples here: http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=1177439&cart=167657420&style=music

    Check out Pat Metheny's BRIGHT SIZE LIFE, features Jaco Pastorius on bass (he's the Jimi Hendix of bass players) - you should be able to get it for about €15 in any of the major retailers.

    If you fancy being adventurous you could try something appropriate for the festive season and something that transcends boundaries in that it is not especially jazz but covers blues folk and you name it and its there the cd is 'the new possibility' by John Fahey. Its truly amazing and definitely worth checking out.

    Entertainment Weekly (12/8/00, p.103) - "...Filled with heartfelt and adventurous interpretations of familair and durable holiday melodies, NEW POSSIBILTY has been a deserved insider favorite since its 1968 release." - Rating: A Mojo (5/01, p.121) - "...A brilliant 1968 Christmas album...no matter the time of year, we can take out the tinsel again....The CD is a true rarity: music so gorgeous it ultimately defies labelling.

    As usual you can hear some extracts there and see if you like it. I see its on the Takoma label now it used to be on Rhino and available around town.

    Yeah, I'm a massive Fahey fan. You heard his new, posthumous, album? Mneh. Although his stuff with Jim O'Rourke and Cul de Sac is really good, too. Although, shouldn't Fahey be on a Folk board? :)

    Derek Bailey is worth checking out, too.

    Django Reinhardt's stuff is pretty great.
