it's pretty wierd, that Paco is called a fusion guitarist since he plays flamenco...

As well as the guitarists mentioned I'd like to add the names of John Pizzarelli,particularly...and also his father,Bucky.
I guess John is my current favourite.Beautifully styled chord arrangement comping behind his own singing,bringing freshness to all standards touched.Also a writer of great melodies...check out the J.Pizzarelli original"Kisses in the Rain" from the album of the same name

Wes Montgomery!
I also quite like Larry Carlton, and is Robben Ford considered jazz or blues?

Jim Hall - Pretty obvious
Bill Frisell - very original, complex, simple, modern, traditional, he's guitar jazz today, fantastic musician.
Lenny Breau - fantastic, especially when he was doing acoustic fingerstyle.
