Oscar Moore
Jesse van Ruller
Maarten van der Grinten
Wes
Kenny Burrell
Joe Pass
Charlie Christian
Jimmy Bryant
Eddie Lang
Django
Oscar Aleman
George Barnes -- early period!
Bola Sete
Baden Powell
Django (d'uh)
for 3rd there are SOOO many others
While I like Jim Hall, Kenny Burell, and Johnny Smith, allow me to toss out an alternative to the usual choices. I think Frank Vignola is widely overlooked, highly underrated, and not mentioned enough in threads like this.
I guess at heart I'm a hardbop guy:
Wes Montgomery
Grant Green
George Benson
What's jazz???😎
all time:
Jim Hall
Bill Frisell
(and on, and on- This list gets long, quick!)
Currently:
Eric Slaughter (in STL and KC - just a killer player)
Pasqaule Grasso
Three way tie for third: Russell Malone, Steve Cardenas, Babik Reinhardt
