Best material for beginning jazz guitarist?


Hey guys, I've been looking very hard to find a good set of books/DVD's etc to help me get going in jazz guitar. I've got a good basic knowledge of theory and the modes of the major scale, etc, and I know a few voicings for various chords (mainly 7th chords and a few 9ths). But past that, I know next to nothing about true jazz guitar.

What are some good places for me to start? Every time I look at a jazz guitar book, it is either way to beginner-friendly (beginner as in new to playing guitar itself), or it has too many unexplained prerequisites (such as being very comfortable with chord inversions, harmonic minor, melodic minor, etc).

Thanks for the help.
