Who today plays like Wes Montgomery?
I like that style, and wonder if any modern players follow in that style or sound. I know of course about George Benson, but I was wondering if there are any others.
Here are a couple vids as examples:
Steve Thompson

Guitars: Fender 60th Anniversary Std. Strat, Squier CVC Tele Hagstrom Viking Semi-hollow, Joshua beach guitar, Martin SPD-16TR Dreadnought
Amphs: Peavey Classic 30, '61 Fender Concert
Effects and such: Boss: DS-1, CE-5, NS-2 and RC20XL looper, Digitech Bad Monkey, Korg AX1G Multi-effects, Berhinger: TU100 tuner, PB100 Clean Boost, Line 6 Toneport UX2, Electro Harmonix Little Big Muff Pi, DuhVoodooMan's Rabid Rodent Rat Clone, Zonkin Yellow Screamer Mk. II, MXR Carbon Copy Delay
love is the answer, at least for most of the questions in my heart. . .

I love Wes Montgomery! Of all the Jazz guitarists out there, he has the best sound and best style to my ears. I never get tired of listening to him. His tone and overall feel is so interesting. I don't know of any players who do only the Wes Montgomery thing but there are a lot of guys that were very influenced by him.
Lee Ritenour did a whole album that was a tribute to Wes since he was such a big influence on his playing.
Eric Johnson was also a big Wes Montgomery fan. Check out this song called "Manhattan" where he does a great Wes Montgomery style
