The besty guitarist i ever met was an unheard genous in manchester who did nothing but practice 10 hours a day. He lived right above me and we became good friends. He did jazz gigs and that. Hope you take the time to listen to his soundcloud.

Thanks for posting in this obscure thread...
Well, I took the time to listen to a lot of the cuts provided and no offense, and I did heard a very competent guitarist, however, I did not hear much, if any, jazz.
Here is a swinging jazz guitarist to my ears...

probably my favorite jazz guitarist is Pat Martino

I enjoy Pat very much, unique style.
Beyond his obvious virtuosity, Martino was able to recover from a brain hemorrhage, and re-learn how to play again. He had a large chunk of his brain removed!
Fantastic story.

The Woody Allen movie Sweet and Lowdown is sort of a tribute to Django.
It is about a fictional guitarist named Emmet Ray (Sean Penn) who considers himself to be the second best guitarist in the world, Django is number one!!!
Good flick with great music.
Howard Alden plays the guitar, Penn pretends.

When I was in my teens I lived close to the Lighthouse on pier ave hermosa and got to whatch many Jazz players from the front door, I was to young to get in so I just watched and listened from the front door. I really liked Joe Pass and Barney Kessel oh and what about Tommy Tedesco

My favorite Bireli Lagrene recording. Most amazing solo starting at 1:17:26 and from 1:25:22 he plays his fretless electric bass.

I found Marc Ribot when i was trying to find out who played the guitar on different Tom Waits recordings. Here is one of the coolest guitar solos ever recorded on a Tom Waits record:
He also recorded 2 albums with a Cuban band which are very refreshing:
