Wes Montgomery was an influential jazz guitarist that is often credited with helping originate the Smooth Jazz sound.

Career
Wes Montgomery began his career emulating such guitarists as Charlie Christian and later continued Christian's and Django Reinhardt's establishment of the guitar as a viable part of bebop jazz. Later, Montgomery moved away from jazz to release instrumental covers of popular songs from The Beatles, The Mamas & the Papas and other contemporary artists, and so helped usher in the Smooth Jazz movement. -
