Better Late Than Never, who incidental is late... selects in the Jazz/Blues/Classic category:
Bela Fleck and the Flecktones: Live Art.
I am pretty sure this could count as Jazzy, bluesey awesomeness. If it doesn't it should be its own category. I mean, it has banjo.
Quote:
Live Art was the fifth album released by Bιla Fleck and the Flecktones and their first non-studio album. It was recorded live at various concerts between 1992 and 1996 and features ten all-star guest musicians.
Special guests include with Sam Bush, Branford Marsalis, Chick Corea, and Bruce Hornsby.

I could watch that over and over for hours. Such an amazing group of gifted musicians. Snappy dressers too.
