About a year ago, when I was playing a lot of acoustic, I was really big on Django. I bought a couple of Naxos' Django compilations, and they are all absolutely amazing. He is certainly underrated and under-exposed.

Pat Martino, eh? I never liked him much, but I agree that he is a technically very impressive player who could put a lot of better-known instrumental rock shredders to shame with his precision playing.
