BET Jazz: Victor Wooten vs. Derek Trucks

Anyone catch this? They played it last night. Apparently, they threw them in a studio and had them jam on Stevie Wonder's "I Wish." Most of the show was about them rehearsing rather than playing (and it sounded good). I think it was a reality show where they mix up musicians that don't actually play together.

Are there other shows like this? Have they released any CD's? I thought it was pretty cool.

EDIT!

Hell yeah, go to amazon and type "BET Jazz" in the DVD's search engine. You'll find lot of stuff that you'll dig.

That show is called Studio Jams.

The group of musicians in that episode was:
Joey Defrancesco - organ
Tuck Andress - guitar
Victor Wooten - bass
Roy Wooten - drums
Jeff Coffin - sax
Kofi Burbidge - flute
(Oteil's brother)

Tuck did a nice guitar intro on I Wish.
Other tunes they did were Back at the Chicken Shack and Oleo.

It's just a random group of musicians put together.
The series shows them discussing how to arrange the tunes,
rehearsing them a time or two and then recording it.

No info on any release of this series.
