Wes Montgomery (1925-1968) is, universally, recognized as one of the greatest guitarists in jazz history. His fluid and musical use of octaves became one of his trademarks and the inspiration of many other guitarists, including Pat Metheny who sights Montgomery as a major influence on his own playing.
