Bela Fleck, Zakir Hussain, and Edgar Meyer are of course giants of their instruments and genres - but they're even more remarkable in their habit of crossing genres. It turns out that when you mix a bluegrass banjo player (and founder of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones), an Indian classical musician (the tabla virtuoso of his generation, but also a linchpin of world music fusion and a co- founder of "Shakti," and "Planet Drum,"), and a Western classical bassist (whose "Appalachia Waltz," with Yo Yo Ma and Mark O'Connor, was a pop hit), you get lyrical, elegant, improvisational jazz. And more. $40/$45
