Bela Fleck has some bluegrass, but I think most of his stuff falls into the jazz genre or maybe the ambiguous "world music."

He started out in bluegrass. Check out New Grass Revival. Also, there's one album by a bluegrass super group called Strength in Numbers. Members include Fleck, Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, Mark O'Connor and Edgar Meyer.

I just watched him at a bluegrass festival or I probably wouldn't have included him but I figure if you can headline yonder's harvest fest you're bluegrass enough.

Those are some of the top ones in the OP.

Here some more top ones:
Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver
Osborne Brothers
Del McCoury Band
The Dillards

The Carter Family, although are considered primarily folk, had some good bluegrass recordings.

I was purposely avoiding that one. They hate playing it and I am tired of hearing it. But now that the Gourds may be no more, maybe I'll start missing it.
