Who's considered the Greatest Jazz Guitarist of all time?

Who's considered the Greatest Jazz Guitarist of all time? Django Reinhardt (1910-1953) The founding father of swing-influenced European “hot” jazz in the 30s Wes Montgomery (1923-1968) Charlie Christian (1916-1942) A true jazz guitar revolutionary, Texas-born Christian rose to fame in Benny Goodman’s band during the years 1939-41. Norman Brown (born 1970) Jimi Hendrix and The Isley Brothers were this Grammy-winning Kansas City-born guitarist’s first influences, but he changed direction after hearing Wes Montgomery. George Benson (born 1943) Influenced by Charlie Christian and mentored by Wes Montgomery (he’s often considered the latter’s heir apparent – no finer compliment for any of the world’s best jazz guitarists), this Pittsburgh-born guitar slinger was a child prodigy who became a jazz and soul superstar in the 70s when he reinvented himself as a vocalist.
