Any "Jazzers"?

All of your suggestion are great(Greg Howe, Metheny, Tribal Tech) but you guys are forgetting the true kings, scratch that, GODS of fusion/jazz - two men, one yorkshireman and one american(with a strange taste in facial hair!!)
Allan Holdsworth - Greatest guitarist ever? I Think so!!

I think most people here know the genius of Holdsworth or have been told that they are scum for not knowing of his genius
For those that are not aware of the genius that is Holdsworth....get Hard Hat Area and let the scum evaporate from your being.

What's your favourite song(s) off Hard Hat Area? I love Tullio, House Of Mirrors and Ruhkuhkah. I much prefer Secrets though as it is probably one of most beautiful albums ever!

I wouldn't call these guys jazzers as much as fusion players. But, fusion is an extension of jazz and we can go ahead and label them as such. I can't say anybody on that list isn't amazing though. I more agree with DestrwidoR list above for more true jazzers.

Nice to see somebody knows them. I haven´t heard any more than a few samples, but they sounded good, and besides, it´s the band of the second Sieges Even guitarist Wolfgang Zenk, so they deserve some love by default.

In general, jazz is okay in small doses.
