David Grisman covers a really wide range of styles, so maybe it would help if I pointed you to his material closer to your interests. The album that this comes from is basically Latin jazz:

Neon Tetra


These are more blues/ragtime based:

Peach Pickin' Time in Georgia


Beat Biscuit Blues


I only discovered him recently, so I'm not too familiar with his discography yet. He did stuff with Jerry Garcia, but most of what I've heard of that union is straight bluegrass.

You like virtuosity, blues jamming, and multi-instrumentalists? Some of Gentle Giant's output fits the bill.

Give this song a little while to get going:

Peel The Paint


Working All Day


Experience



This is a band made up of members of Deep Purple and Iron Butterfly, so it's basically psychedelic blues rock, proto metal. Lots of riffs, lots of prodigious music-making. Maybe not roots enough. Lemme no, k?

Captain Beyond
