been playing guitar for about a decade now, but barely beginning to poke into jazz, and I'm not too knowledgeable on sub genres , however i know the kind i like to hear, but i don't know what sub genre it would fall under?
here's a few examples

i know the last one isn't on a guitar, but it's that same sound i like. Can anyone help me out here and show me some similar artists?
Most of them are standards and they are played by many musicians with different instruments and bands. For example, Round Midnight is an original standard by the pianist Thelonious Monk, it is bebop. In your video the guitarist is Wes Montgomery. Glenn Miller was the leader of a big band. The last one sounds like Dixie, New Orleans.
I wouldn't worry about styles. Sometimes they are just labels.
When you enjoy a song, try to find the band members, the sidemen, in the original record. Usually (maybe sometime) the sidemen have/had their own bands. Also, try to listen classic records, there are lots of lists on internet (for example, Amazon).
