The solo on Kid Charlemagne is a classic. He is obviously playing over
the changes which are more complex during his solo then during the verse
or chorus. Not ii-v's but changes in key never the less.
I frankly can't imagine Joe Pass (a genius of jazz guitar) play anything
any better or more harmonically logical on that tune.
I love great guitar players. Carlton, Scofield and Pass all qualify. As
do Jerry Reed, Tommy Emmanuel, Paco, Eric Johnson among hundreds of
others. If they have a voice, I'll listen to what they have to say.

You haven't heard the "Last Nite" disc, then.
No, I hadn't, thanks. But listening to the samples on allmusic I
still don't hear any jazz, only blues and modal fusion. Can you
recommend any recordings of his where he negotiates the tricky
changes of jazz standards? That would be my criterion for putting
him in the same class as Sco as a jazz guitarist.
