Need help identifying an old instrumental track

I was going to post this on the main page but not sure it's prog. It's actually more like jazz or even fusion. Anyway, here it goes. I have had this piece of music stuck in my head for almost forty years without knowing what it is. My dad was big into jazz so it might come from his collection or maybe not. It is probably from the mid to late 70's and features prominent violin with a repetitive melody. It's rather melodic and bouncy sounding but really that's all I have. I first heard it in the late 70's so I was maybe only 8 or 9 when I heard it. I think it might have been a minor hit or played on the radio(maybe on my dad's jazz station). I have never been able to figure out what it is even after all these years. I'm pretty sure it's entirely instrumental though. And before anyone asks I played enough tracks from Jean Luc Ponty on youtube to rule him out although I suppose it's still possible I somehow missed it and it's him. I don't think it is though.

I really don't think it was Grappeli based on what I listened to on youtube. Also, it was very catchy(otherwise I probably wouldn't have remembered it after all these years) so it might even have had radio airplay or been some kind of a hit. If I ever do figure out what it is I'll post it here. 

I'm pretty sure this it although it's not quite how it was playing in my head all these years.
