There is the "Studio jams" series from some cable / PBS type channel that we've seen videos from - Derek and Kofi and some other folks jamming on "Red Baron" or "I Wish" or "Back at the Chicken Shack." That series goes on for many episodes and incarnations with different folks.
I also recently posted that I've found the live album of Les McCann and Eddie Harris "Swiss Movement" live at Montreux 1969 that is still slaying me.

Originally produced for BET Jazz network I believe. One of my favs is Kimock, Chris Thile, Karl Denson, Rodney Holmes, John Reshard.
