Could you recommend some other good stuff of the same kind?

Hello Vic! Here are some more suggestion, some of which are found throughout this thread.
For good new jazz fom a variety of sounds, all with guitars featured:
Metheny|Mehldau is really good.
Bill Frisell -- Unspeakable and Bill Frisell | Ron Carter | Paul Motian are great.
Nels Cline -- New Monestary is very cool.
Medeski, Scofield, Martin, & Wood -- Out Louder is jamming, jazzy funky fun.
Mimi Fox -- Perpetually Hip is classic jazz quitar style, one disc solo and one with accompaniment. Great recording and Mimi has amazing tone.
Dennis Chambers, Bireli Lagrene, Domique Di Piazza -- Great stuff, and the drumming and bass are truly amazing as I said above.
For more great recent, contemporary jazz releases you can check these out too:
Patricia Barber - Mythologies
Paul Motian -- Garden of Eden
SF Jazz Collective -- All 3 releases include new compositions and feature renditions of a jazz great's songs: Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane and Herbie Han****, plus this year's concerts will feature Thelonious Monk compositions. Dave Douglas is joining the Collective this year, which is exciting also--they usually play in Europe so be on the lookout for them.
Ornette Coleman -- Sound Grammar
Dave Douglas -- Meaning and Mystery and also Keystone
Brad Mehldau -- House on a Hill
Polar Bear -- Held On the Tips Of Fingers
Branford Marsalis Quartet -- Braggtown
Joshua Redman Elastic Band -- Momentum
Give jazz a chance, is all I can say.
Oh, I can also say: COME TO THE INT'L MEET IN CALIFORNIA IN APRIL BECAUSE THE SECOND WON'T BE THE SAME WITHOUT YOU! And bring DoctorJuggles and the rest of the London Head-Fi crew with you!
Cheers, and happy listening!
