Swedish jazz guitarist Ulf Wakenius, known as a member of Oscar Peterson's last quartet from 1997 presents "Four on Six" by Wes Montgomery accompanied by Adam Daudrich on organ and Patrick Carmichael on drums.
Four on Six is one of most popular jazz guitar standards today and of course one of most famous Wes Montgomery's songs. The song title refers to the exclusive use of the 4th (pinky) finger on all 6 strings. The original title was in fact, "4 on 6 on 21," additionally referencing the fact that Wes' L5 had 21 frets.
