Have you played his stuff to any non guitar players? If so what do they think?

I can see why other people would be hesitent, but i’m especially thin skinned. Good to know yourself though!

I agree about Moreno

Dexter Gordon (February 27, 1923 – April 25, 1990)[1] was an American jazz tenor saxophonist. He was among the earliest tenor players to adapt the bebop musical language of people such as Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and Bud Powell to the instrument.
PS: Check out Something Different where instead of the standard piano trio Gordon plays with a guitar trio, lead by Philip Catherine.

Another vote for Billy Bean (solo starting at :44):

As far as guitar players go, Billy Bean. He just oozed bebop.

Think they may all have one thing in common. I think they would all be riled by these labels.
