Looking for Jazz emsembles with a guitar flair

I am a jazz enthusiast and looking for CD's that feature guitar passages and solos. I particularly like guitar phrases that echo the likes of Joe Pass, Wes Montgomery and some of Kenny Burrell styles. The Scofield style is not my cup of tea however.
Looking for your suggestions to add to my library.

Try Philip Catherine - any of his are great, but I think I'm most partial to "Transparence".

I also have "Nairam" on vinyl which I bought in '76 I think, and it's fantastic. It's not available on CD that I've been able to find (in fact even Google doesn't turn it up). It's different than anything else you'll find by anybody - including the resto of Philip's catalog.

I also agree regarding Dhango, the only problem is it's near impossible to find anything hi-fi, it's all that 40's recording quality. There are a number of Django desciples though, some who emulate him closely. Philip Catherine is one who does not. Bireli Lagrene does.
