There are a lot of posthumous albums released by Bill Evans about his last trio featuring Marc Johnson e Joe La Barbera: one more beautiful than the other.

Been listening to a lot of Bill Frisell albums of late. Beautiful jazz guitar work. Never tries to ipress the listener with the speed of his guitar playing, rather making each note meaningful. He plays all types of jazz , even delving into Rock occasionally. Obviously a huge John Lennon fan-one of his studio albums was nothing but Lennon song covers

Here's Bill Frisell live, performing 2 Lennon written Beatles tunes

Bill Frisell also had an album dedicated to early 60s surf guitar. Here's a live version of the classic "Pipeline"
