Aaron Weinstein--lotta vowels in his name. Seriously, he's not only a top-notch violinist, he doubles electric mandolin too. 3 discs so far but hey, give him a shot--he's not yet 30: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Weinstein Some tunes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SK07d7sY4rw

Excellent JazzBo ! I have a passion of sorts for the jazz violin, one of those obscure but effective jazz instruments...saw Grappelli twice...others I listen to Bang, Venuti, Lockwood, Jenkins, Urbniak, Ponty and Seifert !!!! There are many jazz rock violinists and less traditional jazz players.
Billy Bang is a favourite....never know what note he'll play next!!!!

A brilliant player and composer, he loves to share his guidance, his mentoring with younger string players. Zach Brock Spent most of his career being in others' bands but has blossomed as a leader in this decade. He's spent most of his career in Europe, as this Wiki illustrates: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zach_Brock His AMG Discog--no official reviews or rating but his fans are avid: http://www.allmusic.com/artist/zach-brock-mn0000694242 His Site: http://www.zachbrock.com/site/
Tunes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7L12gWCEDBs << A bop classic, beutifully re-imagined << a conversion tool--getting classical music string snobs to appreciate a different approach to serious violin playing << Solo violin pieces don't get much better
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyGVtCthtZw << Love this piece << at a premier NYC jazz club
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1T058XPXeB0 << With a strong nod to the past, Mr. Brock is firmly of this Century
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kj0jhtHSoxg << His band 4 years ago << From Montreal via Tuvalu
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KeGhslmE_k << "You're not the same woman I once knew...." I think that's a good thing; his melancholia suggests otherwise.
