Gotta admit that Jeff Beck and the group he has playing with him here go off the scale for me as far as talented music makers go. I have no idea what he is doing with scales, modes, note choices but it so often works very well. Very wide ranging styles and range and not just Jazz/Rock fusion (which he does so well) - never quite sure what's going to come next when he's playing so I do need to feel mentally tough to tackle listening to his work.

He can have more of a conventional edge to some of the more melodic pieces but even then pulls the odd surprise that grabs the attention. The "Cause We've Ended As Lovers" video form the Ronnie Scotts set is like that.
