As the local search engine has failed to regurgitate the original thread, I'm starting a new one on violin players in the rock, folk and jazz fields. As this has not been updated since May 2007, there are clearly omissions, so the usual requests: please name violinists omitted, giving full name, band(s) or guest appearance (and if possible name an album which is representative of the artist's playing -especially the more obscure volinists). [I know I have to add all the members of Stringfever].

	Regina Carter, a classically trained jazz violinist. She can produce a beautiful tone from a violin. Checkout "Freefall", a duet cd with Regina and jazz pianist Kenny Barron. Or for something really special listen to "Paganini: After a Dream" cd. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rk2LhjLJZY0
