With all the polls about guitarists, keyboard players and drummers, I thought it would be nice to cover violinists. What are your thoughts concerning the above mentioned? My personal favorite is Jean Luc Ponty's "Enigmatic Ocean" followed by Jerry Goodman's work on "Birds of fire".

Jean Luc Ponty is an amazing violinist. His solo stuff is great too.

Once again, I will give the name of a great prog violinist who is missing in the violinist polls : Marcus VIANA, leader of the brazilian band Sagrado coraçao da terra.

how about David Cross? I don't know how talented he really is compared to JLP, but his work definitely adds a lot to several KC tracks.

But probably would have voted for Cross if he was here.

Talking only about Prog' violinists (Not to contradict Billyshears 67 ) I have to stay with  Robbie Steinhardt, without him, Kansas is just another USA aqverage Prog band, this was proven when he left the bad during the 80's and they released the most horrendous albums possible (Drastic Measures, Power and In the Spirit of Things) Not even the Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by the excellent Andrew Powell could save Power.

In the album Live at Whiskey, Robbie was replaced by the competent violinist  David Ragsdale and they played most of their most famous tracks, but without Robbie, there was no personality.

His technique is amazing and he adds a special feeling hard to find.

Alessandro Bonetti (Deus ex Machina) is a madman. Not sure where he ranks among these others, but definitely worth hearing!
