That's probably the one thing I have that has Metheny playing on it.  (Tho
I treasure his anti-Kenny G. rant for all time.)

For "normal" jazz, I've always like Larry Coryell's acoustic work.  (His
electric stuff makes no lasting impression on me.)  My all time favorite
acoustic guitar album is "Twin House," by Coryell and Philip Catherine.
One reason I mention it is I have never been able to find it on CD, and my
elpee is old.


If ya want what I think would be a controversial electric guitar player,
how 'bout James Blood Ulmer?  Sometimes he's like a box of angry honeybees,
being shaken.



And then there's Adrian Belew ...
