What are some songs or artists you would recomend that have a strong jazz guitar? I’m the pianist in a jazz band, and our new guitar player is at a loss for rhythmical things to do while comping behind the band.

Hi,
Good question. You’re gonna get alot of suggestions here. I’ll try to suggest a few that have not been mentioned already:
Django Reinhardt – Truly Insiring (learn his story too, what he did with two fingers would humble most guitarists out there)
Grant Green – A Nice alternative to standard jazz. Perfect if you like to put a little "Go Go" in your playing. Cool Stuff, greatfor jamming.
Tal Farlow – One of the greats
Charlie Christian – Another timeless player
George Van Eps – Much overlooked
Jim Hall – Also, very underrated.
Joe Pass – Great for real-book type of stuff.
John Mclaughlin – Cool Stuff, check out "Mahavishnu Orchestra"
Kenny Burrell – Check out his stuff on Verve records. Great stuff.
Larry Carlton – Really did cool stuff with fusion.
Lee Ritenour – Also, did really did cool stuff with fusion, and played on alot of records you ,may have have listened to.
Pat Martino – Also great if you want to learn alot of stuff in the real book.
Kevin Chisholm – American Guitarist
