interesting bit about wes montgomery.. ive never heard of acid jazz in those terms.
i would say that the furthest i have delved into acid jazz is thievery corporation, although i feel as though they fall under several categories. i'd love to hear of anyone's favorites, though.

The legendary jazz guitarists Wes Montgomery is almost always associated with this style of music as he undoubtedly pioneered the genre. The second genre is, of course, electronica; and while I could probaly just pop onto wiki and make myself look a lot smarter than I actually am, I will instead confess that I know nothing else about it.
