Work Song (1960) - Track 1
Nat Adderley (cornet), Wes Montgomery (guitar), Bobby Timmons (piano), Sam Jones, Keter Betts (bass, cello), Percy Heath (bass), Louis Hayes (drums)

Wes Montgomery was highly influential on Joe's development as a guitarist (and every other jazz guitarist in the bebop/post-bebop era); Joe often praised Wes' innovation and musicianship in interviews, and modeled his lines/phrasing after Wes (especially early in his career).

I've picked several tracks from my Wes Montgomery collection to go "head-to-head" against Joe's tracks, as an exploration of style/composition (rather than competition). The tracks are mostly well known standards, and paired together in my "Wes Montgomery & Joe Pass" playlist:
