Has anyone mentioned Ry Cooder yet?

I mean, - come on. For feel, for tone, - for sheer tastefulness in his playing, Ry is hard to beat. And he leaves lots of space. He LISTENS.

I reckon Ry is a guitarist's guitarist

PS: And Swanee, I agree, the jazz players are often overlooked. What about Freddie Green; - am I alone in thinking that rhythm guitar gets ignored?
