Blues, Jazz, Rock Violinists?

I have "The complete Blue Note Recordings of The Tina Brooks Quintets" on Mosaic LP's. This is "World Music" with Regina Carter. She can come out of many different bags, although this is the first time I saw her play world music. I liked the composition of the music and the instruments; but the musicians seemed to be on tranquilizers. I could live without it in my collection. She's got a long way to go to catch "Ray Nance", but she's got time.

I have "Grazing In The Grass" and a lot more by Masekela; I also like Manhattan Transfer, although some time I can't tell them from New York Voices which is another group I like.

It's nice to know we're on the same page.

jazz genre - Svend Asmussen - Grapelli-like in style. Check out his "Still Fiddling" release.

Orpheus10:

Have you ever ordered any CDs from mosaic? Talk about the sound quality.
Thanks

Orpheus10:
Don't wanna beat a dead horse, but this is an example of what I was talking about earlier. It's a review from the All Music Jazz Guide, speaking of a german group that could not play, 'inventing' something, they could play, and calling it euro-Jazz? I was surprised at how blunt the reviewer was.
check it out.

I'm not into that "uber" quality thing. All I can say is that LP's are better than early CD's.

The worlds greatest musicians have recorded stuff that belongs in the dumpster. You have to be very specific and only get the music you know about, as opposed to just getting music by that particular artist. This doesn't apply to the set by Tina Brooks, but you get my drift.

Enjoy the music.
