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.

Obviously Grappelli is the biggest omission from your list. Another current artist I don't think has been mentioned, interestingly, is Mark O'Conner.

I went to school briefly with Jean Luc Ponty's daughters; one of whom, Clara, is a fine pianist. She has a few albums out of what most would probably describe as "New Age" music.
