As an aside, I got to see Corea and Fleck in concert together last year... It was an interesting pairing.

My fav:
Bela took what Earl Scruggs started and amped it up 5 times and he then literally brought the banjo places it never has been. I saw Bela perform his Concerto for Banjo shortly after Scruggs died. As a tribute to him he did Foggy Mountain Breakdown and followed it up with The Ballad of Jed Clampett.
For the Ripps my favs are Topaz and Black Diamond but Drive is a great solo effort by Russ Freeman.
