I have packed all my guitars and cleaned out my room. No keyboard, no Line 6 Interface, no Sonar, no lava lamp. Just my GB100 and me. I Am going to work up 15 solo jazz guitar pieces however long it takes. Thank you for your support 

Welp...I hope that by 'round midnight you're playing 'round midnight.

Playing Solo Jazz Guitar is a worthwhile pursuit and it is the one thing musically that helps  keep  me sane …..
if you need any help or if you would like me to offer you some suggestions ….just ask ….
Once upon a time in my guitar playing life  I was fortunate to have have spent a lot of one on one time w the player you mentioned …..

Jim Hall is another great one to emulate. Years ago I had a book of his on jazz guitar that was very enlightening.

Hi,
 
I wish that folks would not determine "jazz" as a style, since there is such an incredible individuality within it to even discuss it. 
 
You can listen to Garbarek, Davis, Jarrett, Rypdal, McLoughlin and specially European folks, that do not follow the rudimentary American style of jazz, and often less melody based. But that might be a simple preference of mine, so please excuse me on that.
 
I have always thought that if anything, the jazz thing is more about the individuality than anything we can define. I guess that learning some "basics" is a nice start, although I tend to think that is just another door that you have to open later, in order to get out and free yourself?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You happen to talk such a good game  I'm even interested .
 
Why not bypass all the chit chat and let us hear your music .
 
I would love to hear your musical evolution in a tangible form that i can digest at my own speed ….

Wait, isn't Jazz the easy style?  All you have to do is hit a lot of notes in some odd time pattern and, should a note really sound like it doesn't belong, return to it a few times and make it seem important, right?

Yes. That's why I Am playin it.
Everything I play is odd and the rest of what you describe nails my imprav techinques percisely!

Might I also suggest the incomparable Lenny Breau. Sad, tragic but amazingly talented...not unlike my personal fave...the worthless lout...Chet Baker. Damn him.

Lenny Breau is way above my pay grade I think. Playing his stuff like he did is, well incomparable. It's easy to see why Chet Atkins spoke about him the way he did. He and guys like Jerry Reed were mere mortals. Chet wasn't exaggerating. Tommy Emanuel was in awe of him.  
 
P.S. Thanks for Round Midnight!
