Blues, Jazz, Rock Violinists?

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.

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.

One of the best violinists, both electric and acoustic in the 80's was Michael Urbaniak. Still have about 10 of his vinyl LPs. Billy Bang's style was highly influenced by Urbaniak's sound.
