Please recommend me a good player - modern jazz

[rufes]

Guthrie Govan, some Jeff Beck.... that stuff

Thanks guys!

Despite being great players, those guys aren't really modern jazz. What you can do is just go to Pandora.com and start a channel with someone like Mike Stern, and just sit back and listen. Or, if you want to hear music and musicians like Guthrie, start a Guthrie channel. Pandora is pretty good at pulling similar musicians out of the blue for you, it's a great way to try some stuff you haven't heard before. I have it on now

Pat Metheny, John Scofield and Bill Frisell are considered to be the "big three" of current jazz.

Allan Holdsworth, Greg Howe, Scott Henderson, Frank Gambale, and sometimes Mike Keneally.
Those are my pics.

I think he meant fusion players, yeah man, please recommend some fusion players.

Al Dimeola (Return To Forever/Solo) The greatest ever!

Russ Freeman (The Rippingtons) You get a healthy dose of horns as well, but I love this band!!!
