I really appreciate the sweet guitar of Wes Montgomery.

Here's some clips:

YouTube - Wes Montgomery, Johnny Griffin - 1965 - Last of the Wine

and a cooler song, but not footage of Wes playing.

YouTube - Wes Montgomery - Four On Six

One of my favourite 'old school' jazz guys! Instantly recognisable tone, great phrasing, and really musical, tasteful soloing and comping. He really had it all.
