I always liked David Cross's work with King Crimson. I know he did some solo work but I'm not sure it got much play. Also Michael Urbaniak is pretty good.
Blues, Jazz, Rock Violinists?
Hey folks - over the years I have really enjoyed Sugar Cane Harris. Can anyone recommend other "non-classical" violinists? (but not really interested in "country fiddle", either). Am familiar with Jean Luc Ponty, Papa John Creach. Violin as in "It's a Beautiful Day", Dan Hicks, UK would work too. Looking forward to your suggestions.
