IMHO Kurt seems to be totally unconstrained by the these complex harmonic structures and to be improvising as freely as no other contemporary or past guitarist. This does not mean they were not playing jazz, but no other guitarist is as fluent in the 'jazz language' as he is. He improvises more like a horn player than a guitarist. Which is actually a compliment ;)
Metheny is easily as "fluent in the jazz language" as him. Grant Green is one of the most horn-like guitarists of all times. Wes redefined the jazz-guitar language and is one of the seminal hard boppers, independent of instrument. Martino has a "jazz style" that is really hard to match. Lage Lund is a hell of a player in that "contemporary" horn-like guitar style of Kurt. Jimmy Raney is THE bebop guitarist, really "horny" XD.
I love Kurt's playing, but I strongly disagree with you comment... :P
@fieldsong I know what you mean. Your statement seems pretty "blaspemous", but I have to agree. Guitar is so unfitted for jazz that it takes a Rosenwinkel to make real art happen. I just can't get enough of Kurt...
@fieldsong - yep. it DOES sound crazy! charlie christian, django reinhardt, jim hall, billy bauer, wes montgomery, chuck wayne, jimmy raney, joe diorio, ed bickert, mick goodrick, pat metheny, john scofield, john abercrombie, bill frisell all came before kurt. you should listen to them.
I don't make this comments usually, but I find Rosenwinkel so boring. I just don't like him...
