You guys have to make a bigger tree. And some branches have the same
age, but look at different directions. And another thing, shouldn't
the roots be at the bottom?

Is this fair?
Jimmy Raney came before Wes and Jim. An example is
the recordings
with Stan Getz that date back to c. 1950. Tal Farlow
also was
prominent then, and Wes even cited him as an
influence.
Ben,
Historically, Ben may more accurate because in 1955,
Jim Hall became a member of the original Chico
Hamilton Quintet, and was then that Jim began to
attract national, and then international, attention.
and same for Tal and Wes... this chart may have to be
revised ... besides whatthe books say ... I think the
real experts on jazz guitar are right are here in this
forum...
(glad to be in the company ...)
His Discography states:
1950s:
Jim Hall: Jazz Guitar (Pacific Jazz)
Street Swingers with Bobby Brookmeyer & Jimmy Raney
(Pacific Jazz)
Undercurrent with Bill Evans (United Artists)
Paul Desmond and Friends (Warner Bros)
...which dates Hall 5 years Raney's junior ,,,,
