Default need a cool guitar solo

I get free (university-sponsored) lessons for the whole year and as part of that I have to transcribe a solo [i will learn the head too]. Problem is, I've been listening to mostly horn players lately and can't even think of a good guitar solo that I really like. So, I'm appealing to OOT and would like to hear some suggestions. I don't want any crazy fast boring shred stuff or modern nonsense-sounding crap. Just something interesting and cool; something that would make you go "wow, thats clever" when you're listening. You can try submitting me a trumpet solo too, that could be cool; don't really want sax because i can't hear what's going on all that well. Also can't be a cliff brown solo because I just got a huge book of his transcriptions and I don't want to cheat. Oh yeah, Joe Pass stuff is out - not looking to figure out too many chords.

For examples of what I'm looking for:
Wes Montgomery SOS take 2
Wynton Marsalis My Funny Valentine [theres a strange part i'm not sure is guitar-translatable]
Freddie Greene in Count Basie band Dream a Little Dream of Me
intro to mingus's moanin' [bari sax] too short though

So yeah, I'm just looking for suggestions. I have 6 weeks to transcribe it and I must perform it at the end. I don't mind working hard, but the difficulty should be reasonable. Given enough practice, I can play most things that aren't just insanely ridiculously fast - read: i can play most stuff out of the omnibook.
