Best jazz guitarists

Glad to see alot of the true greats mentioned. I had the pleasure of seeing this guy on three different occassions. Russell Malone, has played with all of the new age horn specialist. This solo video is pretty cool and a good example of his ability. He never overplays and his tone is outstanding.

I wonder what kind of setup he's using. I've used an effect that sounds somewhat like a keyboard but it sounds nothing like that.

When I was looking for videos of him on YouTube I came across an interview where he was talking a little bit about his gear. It sounded like a lot of the sound was down to the type of amp he uses and the way he plays. According to Wikipedia he uses a "Hughes & Kettner Tube Rotosphere (a Leslie rotary speaker simulator)", whatever that is.

I just went back and re-listened. Pretty good ear man, that definitely is the right key for the Temptations.
