Those are guesses based on a couple of decades of sporadic jazz study. Others would be: Duke Ellington, John Coltrane? Joe Pass? Giant Steps?

1. Charlie Parker, he and Dizzy advanced jazz quite a bit.
2. Wes Montgomery - listen to his tone and phrasing 3. I've got rhythm. (rhythm changes) although Autumn Leaves is a common tune for beginning jazz guitarists. (I am still "studying" it LOL)

I'm not sure whether that means "most studied" in the sense Bern meant it. It's the most widely played in jazz lessons - whereas the more complex Giant Steps has probably attracted much more in-depth academc study. All The Things You Are is somewhere in between: popular enough (and easy enough) for relative beginners, but complex enough to reward serious study. Wes was probably the most popular and widely-known jazz guitarist of all time. Most studied? I'm not sure. (But then I'm not sure about Django either... I mentioned Joe Pass, because a lot more people seem to talk about him than about Wes.) Maybe we could just look up how many books there are on each one?
