The Art of the Day is: The art of playing together.

Last night I went to a bluegrass jam session in Waltham. It was made even more pleasant by knowing the Kaufman brothers (who were playing together for the first time in years), but what impressed me was how each individual (and at one point there were 15 players) cued off each other, listened to each other, while fingering and plucking. Hand/eye/ear coordination, impressive, yeah, sure, but becoming an entity, the sum greater than the parts, that impressed me the most! Live music, seek it out.
