Not sure what to really categorize this stuff as, but Danny Gatton (guitar) and Buddy Emmons (pedal steel) did some pretty cool stuff as the Redneck Jazz Explosion:
Good footage (kinda crazy watching Gatton's hands)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGGE4CrPvjU
Softspot for this one too, though almost loungey at times:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKq7bb7Q-yk&feature=results_video&playnext=1&list=PLCFB5766FE3473F36

oh yeah, I forgot they did that w Elvin, talk about an extended range! Brave Oregon pioneers. Before I forget, Robert Randolph has been known to chase Trane on pedal steel, and he's once again on an Experience Hendrix tour. Turtle Island String Quartet has also covered Hendrix well, ditto Coltrane, a whole album of his songs, and ones he covered/ They've got that barefoot sound. And also before I forget, always liked this--Pavement transmuted, inspiration no longer seemingly offhanded, still cool http://www.thedwarf.com.au/var/plain/storage/images/albumreviews/gold_sounds_james_carter_cyrus_chestnut_ali_jackson_and_reg_veal/773727-4-eng-GB/gold_sounds_james_carter_cyrus_chestnut_ali_jackson_and_reg_veal_album.jpg
