Is some of the older Bela Fleck more traditional? I really like what he is doing now as well, but it sure isn't folk, and I don't know of anyone who plays the bajo like he does. I happen to think he's amazing and wonderful (and his base player is even more so) but I know that in true folk circles, this may be hereseu. I believe that he did start in the true folk tradition and no matter what folks may sah, he has chops.
