Gatton could flat out play, and in a pretty wide range of styles ... most of the stuff I've heard him on is more "rockabilly-ish" or bluesy, albeit with some obvious jazz influences. Like Jeff Beck, kind of.

The only disc I have of his is "Relentless," on which he teams with Joey DeFrancesco, and the disc really cooks ... although, again, it's not the "jazziest" of CDs. It does have a cool version of Wayne Shorter's "Chess Players," though.

It would have been great to have heard him on a "pure" jazz disc ... unfortunately he committed suicide a number of years ago.

Welcome, Paco, from another fellow-guitarist. I'm kind of an old fart :g, but our tastes do overlap a little. I love Jimmy Raney (Doug is great too), and that Eddy Louiss Trio disc- the one with Rene Thomas and Kenny Clarke, yes?- is one of my all-time favorites. Pat Martino is a great artist (and a great story regarding his comeback)... ever heard Louis Stewart? He's Irish, and is roughly the same age at Martino (and has similar chops). Dave Stryker is a fine player too- used to work in Stanley Turrentine's band. He also used to post at Jazz Corner, so you might be able to correspond with him there.
