Recently, I listened to John Scofield's A Go Go album and loved it. Any suggestions of albums/artists that sound similar?

Mike Stern - "Who Let The Cats Out" is a good place to start and pretty accessible but most all of his stuff is very good.

Pat Metheny (of course) - He's so diverse so there's much to choose from. "We Live Here" may be a good place to start. His "trio" recordings have a little more "straight ahead" jazz feel to them.

Bill Frissell - "Unspeakable"

Blues Dream is absolutely one of my favorite high quality headphone albums of all time. Though its not really similar to what the op was asking about.

Medeski, Scofield, Martin & Wood - Out Louder
John Scofield - Uberjam/This Meets That
The Yellowjackets -Lifecycle
Spyro Gyra - Good To Go-Go

Two of the best jazz guitarists ever are Joe Pass and Wes Montgomery.

This is an old album that was originally released in the 1960's, regardless of what Amazon says. It can be had used for $6.93.

Amazon.com: Moonlight in Vermont: Johnny Smith: Music

OP, you might like the album Scofield did with Metheny, "I can see your house from here"
YouTube - Pat Metheny & John Scofield

Also check out Frank Gambale.

Joe Pass, Wes Montgomery and Johnny Smith don't play in a style or sound resembling John Scofield, but they are great guitarists worth checking out for sure.

track off that album literally just came on right as I scrolled to it. I had to check to see if some weird embedded music file didn't somehow start playing.

Anyway, great album, especially on a nice set of 'phones, but not at all like the style the OP was mentioning though.

Ever heard Oliver Gannon? He is a jazz guitarist from Vancouver, Canada and is quite good. I've seen him live a couple of times.

I wish I liked more Scofield albums; he's always impressed me live. The disc I dig that might be up the OP's alley, though, is the live super-trio with Larry Goldings on organ (he's so underrated) and drummer Jack DeJohnette (everybody knows how great he is).

Trio Beyond - Saudades

It's a two-disc set, and though in some places it grooves like A Go Go, it doesn't stay in any one vibe very long.

Also check out George Benson, Kenny Burrell, Lenny Breau.

One of my favorite albums ever.

And as many people said, Wes Montgomery is worth a listen.
