Great thread Warren

Billy Thorpe- Children of the Sun- Its only rock and roll but...

Sam Bush and David Grisman- Wayfaring Stranger -The tune itself is classic hillbilly gospel. Bill Monroe built a mandolin part for it which Bush and Grisman turned into a powerful mandolin duet.

Bela Fleck - His Bluegrass Sessions recording has a cluster of wonderful instrumental pieces including Buffalo Nickel, When Joy Kills Sorrow, and Spanish Point. I'm not sure which group of musicians did these cuts but its some combination of Fleck banjo, Tony Rice guitar, Sam Bush mandolin, Mark Schatz bass, Stuart Duncan fiddle, Jerry Douglas dobro, and Vassar Cements fiddle, among others.

David Grisman Quintet- Cedar Hill, Dawg Patch, also recorded as Dawgwood Dawgma with Stephane Grappelli, Dawg Funk, and their version of the Sabbath prayer Shalom Aleichem. The Quintet featured a huge number of different performers from its inception in 1976 through the present. They play Dawg music which ranges from straight up Jazz to Bluegrass. Awesome live string band.
