Yes, a very similar style to that of Wes.
The "octave style" of soloing, was very popular amongst some.
One of my favourites jazz guitarists was Barry Galbraith, he featured on a lot of jazz recordings, yet few people are aware of him.
I've had this track of his, of a Rogers & Hart composition on a composite album since my teens.
I put it on YouTube four years ago and it's had over 10,000 hits and a lot of positive comments.
Just look at his "side men," you have to be well respected to get these sort of musicians to play with you.

I also included a link in the write-up to an old USA TV pilot jazz programme (seems very dated now) in which he and other notable jazz musicians are featured.
