You are quite welcome Tablejockey.
Since we are discussing two guitarists, let me throw in another "jazz guitarist" to put what I know into perspective. Before Grant Green went to "Blue Note", he was on the St. Louis local scene. The place where he performed on the weekend, was also the place where we (me and my buddy's) hung out.
Grant would come through on a quite night (Wednesday), and somebody would turn the jukebox off, and he would play; not for us, but for himself, and leave with very little conversation. This gave me an inside track on Grant Green's most intimate guitar; that was when he was playing for Grant Green and nobody else.
I am one of Wes Montgomery's biggest fans; I'm talking about "Nap Town Wes". That was when he played some of the coolest guitar you ever heard. After he became the famous "Wes Montgomery", I was still a fan, but I understood the difference. No matter what a person does for a living, paying the rent takes on a high priority.
If Wes had lived longer, we would have heard a lot more of "Nap Town Wes", because that's when he would have been able to shift his priority to what pleased Wes.
Down through the years, I'm not certain what my priorities were, but now I'm certain it's collecting the very best jazz available.
Enjoy the music.
