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.

Look for Ben Monder.

Exceptional phrasing, great sound.

Especially when he plays with Theo Bleckmann (awsome vocalist, I never heard a guy with such a range -- and able to go along Monder's phrasing).

"Oceana" is good. "No boat" is even better.

Try Duke Ellington's "Duke's Big Four". It's a quartet date from 1973 on the Pablo label. It's Duke - piano, Ray Brown - bass, Louis Bellson - drums and Joe Pass on guitar. Very well played all the way around and really REALLY good recording.

Peter White / Playin' Favorites.
This is smooth jazz guitarist Peter White playing soul jazz classics. Ensembles that's mostly instrumental. Released in 06.
Not only great music but recorded well which is a prerequisite on my system/taste.
