I realize that Stevie Ray is not really a jazz guitarist, but there is a track
on his last studio album, "In Step" called "Riviera Paradise" I have always
loved this song and would like to know which Jazz artist has recorded similar
songs. This is the type of Jazz that I would be most interested in owning
more of. That is if this track could even be considerred Jazz. I have tried
some CDs by Wes Montgomery. It's close, but not exact.

There was a guy named Zachary Breaux that did similar sounding stuff. Jazzy
rock songs with a clean tone...

Believe it or not, Jimi Hendrix occasionally recording some things that may fit
this style that you are seeking. "The Wind Cries Mary," which had vocals too,
comes to mind. He also did that cool instrumental at Woodstock that you may like
(after Purple Haze, but I forgot the name).

You might try Larry Carlton. He plays bluesy, usually with a pop/rock
type rhythm section, but also knows how to play through changes -- very
well. Robben Ford is another guy who fits this bill.

I second the Larry Carlton suggestion. "On solid ground" would be my
recommendation. He does a few rock and pop cover tunes on that one, in
addition to some very tasteful, mellow, yet rich, originals. He's a good
first jazz guitarist to listen to if you haven't yet developed a strong
pallate (sp?) for the complexities of jazz. Both his chord progressions and
his scalar and modal soloing never stray too far from what the "Pop/Rock
born and bred-ear is accustomed to hearing. Contrast this to someone like
Allan Holdsworth, whom you may very well like, but who is more progressive,
complex, experimentive, even, dare I say it, a little chaotic sounding to
the novice listener. Larry served as one of my first favorites in crossing
over to jazz, while, at the same time, Holdsworth was a little baffling to
my ears, almost as if he was speaking another language. I think you'll like
Larry. Good luck!

I'm a huge Stevie Ray fan and you've hit on my favorite of all his
recordings.
recordings.
I'd suggest checking out Ronnie Earl's last 2 or 3 CDs (Grateful Heart and
The Colour of Love in particular). Ronnie started out playing blues and is
now heavily into jazz.
As someone else mentioned, Jimi Hendrix was a giant influence on Stevie.
I've read about the many jams Hendrix did with jazz players (Miles Davis was
very interested in Hendrix) but I've never heard any recordings of those.
"Still Rainin', Still Dreamin'" from Electric Ladyland would give you a
taste of what it might have been like.
Finally, I've read that Stevie listened to Kenny Burrell quite a bit. Stevie
recorded some tracks that obviously bear this out.
Of course, there's a ton of other reasons for listening to all these guys,
especially Jimi and Kenny.

Sorry, you're 15 years too late. The original poster of this thread
didn't get enough answers that he liked, so in May 1999 he stopped
listening to jazz and now only listens to Bulgarian clog dancing.

SRV actually recorded Kenny Burrell's "Chintlins con carne".
Give KB "Midnight blue" a try. I think that a lot of what SRV did in "Riviera paradise" and "Lenny" came from there.

You might also want to check out Eric Johnson. He's also from Texas and much of his music is attributed to Stevie Ray Vaughan's style. He even has a song named "SRV" in honor of Stevie.
