frogman-Steve Kahn is one of those guys like Larry Carlton who played on a ton of albums. One of those musicians who came up as straight ahead was going in many different directions. Killer guitar player.
O-Heres a dude you may be familiar with. He was just a few years younger than Wes. His playing was considered maybe a little "out of the box"even though he was a true "straight ahead" player. This guy was part of that elite group in the 50-60's "wrecking crew" Howard Roberts.

"Howard Roberts is a Dirty Guitar Player" is another essential guitar album. I believe George Benson mentions him as one of his personal likes.
Listening to the music, its straight ahead, but with tinges of...? I played my minty '63 mono copy along with dinner. Cool stuff.
Im imagining guys in a cool shark skin suits, gals in tight dresses hangin in some smokey club.
