I've always thought of Chet Atkins as being more country than jazz, but I keep seeing his name mentioned in various lists and articles about jazz guitarists (and he did have a smooth, flowing sort of jazz style to his technique) so I decided to include him in my list.
I have a problem calling him country. There really aren't any country guitarists who could play like him. There was a hint of country, bluegrass, jazz and classical in his playing.

Autumn leaves, doesn't joe pass play that, or did he write it? I think I remember learning how to play some of it, I really liked it.
