Wes Montgomery's Greatest Hits. It's late here and perfect for some late night jazz.

Montgomery’s influence on jazz guitar cannot be understated. Joe Pass said, “To me, there have been only three real innovators on the guitar—Wes Montgomery, Charlie Christian, and Django Reinhardt.” It is not just jazz guitarists that recognise Montgomery’s talent, among the rock fraternity; Stevie Ray Vaughan, Joe Satriani and Jimi Hendrix have all acknowledged his influence. Lee Ritenour, who recorded the 1992 album Wes Bound, also named his son Wesley. Words: Richard Havers
