Every single one of the original Allmans was/is a first class musician--well, maybe Gregg is an average organist but he had one of the great blues voices of all time.
Listen---really listen--to the interplay between Butch Trucks and Jaimoe. Seamless. Lots of people who don't know the band think there's only one drummer.
And, just before he died, Duane did some jazz work with Herbie Mann on an album called "Push, Push". He was one of the most talented musicians ever to play in a rock band.
