Wes Montgomery: 'Incredible Jazz Guitar' (1960)
Guitarist Wes Montgomery recorded many exceptional albums, but the one that stands out for me is The Incredible Jazz Guitar (Riverside).

In the “guitarist as leader" genre--on the popular music side), think Link Wray, Dick Dale, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Robbie Robertson. In jazz, think Wes Montgomery, Bill Frisell, Pat Metheny, Sangeeta Michael Berardi. All of these musicians have a sonic ...
