The prolific Scott Yanow has outdone even himself with this book; the most comprehensive guide to jazz guitarists ever published. With hundreds of dossiers and discographies on every major (and not so major) jazz guitar player of note; arranged in encyclopedia fashion; this is the final stop on anyone's tour of six-string wizards working the swinging side of the street.

From Django Reinhardt and Charlie Christian to Pat Metheny; John McLaughlin and even Les Paul to Jeff Beck and beyond (not to mention Wes and Barney and everyone in between); The Great Jazz Guitarist hits every note; never sharp or flat; and always with the combination of edge; sensitivity and awe-inspiring depth of knowledge that has made author Yanow one of the most widely read and respected critics and historians in jazz history.
