Anyway, there are many examples of Emmanuel's playing that IMO display he's a helluva guitarist and very musical too. But of course different strokes....Atkins was obviously a damn fine player too, but I definitely would not say he's a fave of mine.
There are quite a few jazzers who kinda habitually play very fast lines. Some manage to do that and make the lines musical, interesting and surprising/unique. Others just basically regurgitate patterns they've shed and/or licks originated by others. Its true that there's more of the latter than the former and I lose interest in their playing fairly quickly - though sometimes I'm very impressed with their chops on the axe.
Hey, the very first saxophonist that made me wanna play alto was Johnny Hodges - obviously not a speed demon.
