Good call on Tony Bourge (classic early Budgie LP's, for those who don't recognize the name.)
No mentions for MIZUTANI, ACHIM REICHEL or GUNTHER SCHICKERT yet? Don't forget the non-English speaking world!
And JOHN ABERCROMBIE -- who mostly does wretched fusion, but he played wanky acid guitar all over THE STARK REALITY record, which equals instant ultracool!
Also on the jazz tip -- SONNY SHARROCK!!! Every noise-loving hipster should know his name.
For that matter CHARLIE CHRISTIAN pretty much invented electric guitar playing (the Hendrix of the great depression), and he's not exactly a household name.
