My first jazz guitar hero was definitely Tal Farlow. One of my very first jazz records, purchased at the tender age of 16, was Tal’s The Swinging Guitar of Tal Farlow, which is still 26 years after, one of my absolute favorites.
Here is an excellent online biography of Tal, a master musician and, according to those knew him, a great human being.
