I knew there had to be a Jazz thread somwhere
Brushing the dust off of this thread, nonetheless. People always seem to stay away from jazz and i don't know why.
Some of my favorite Jazz artsits: Miles Davis (Too be honest I still need Bitches Brew
But i'm looking for the collector's edition, and haven't found it yet in any stores, so i might just order it online), John Coltrane (I need more by him), Charles Mingus, Duke Ellington (He did so many great jazz collaborations) Count Basie (same reason as Duke), Herbie Hancock
, Chick Corea
And you gotta give a shout out to some jazz fusion artists too (Jeff Beck, Mahavishnu John McLaughlin, Al Di Meola & his band Return to Forever) And even Sun Ra, and his "avant garde jazz" Hell even Ella Fitzgerald is jazz to me at times, and a sometimes some of Sinatra's, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Nat King Cole's, stuff is all borderline jazz sometimes
My three favorite jazz albums:
1. Kind Of Blue- Miles Davis
2. A Love Supreme- John Coltrane
3. Blues And Roots- Charles Mingus

For pure musical ecstasy, I have to say David Gilmour. He's just amazing, my favorite guitarist of all time. (His On An Island album, simply amazing.)
But for this, I'm going off the board: Andrew Latimer of Camel. He's an amazingly diverse guitarist with some of the best solo's I have ever heard. He is a god with the guitar. He can play the softer soothing melodies, he can crank out an impressive solo, all around an amazing guitarist that I think can truly make any song that much better if he's behind the guitar.
But if i have to pick on the board
Either: Clapton, Page, Hendrix, SRV, Steve Howe, Gilmour, Jeff Beck. They are the all wonderfully rounded guitarists that can excel in any type of song you put them in basically.
