Who's better? Jean-Luc Ponty or Eileen Ivers

I've been listening to Jean-Luc Ponty for years now but recently came across a CD which is quite good called "Crossing the Bridge" by Eileen Ivers (it's on the Sony Classical label). She did a lot of the fiddle work on the original River Dance project. Just wondering who everyone would vote for as best violinist, Jean-Luc Ponty or Eileen Ivers?

Haven't heard Ivers, but will check her out.

I second Bmolly's comments about O'Conner & the Dixie Dregs.
Everyone should own a Dreg's recording, my favorite is "Bring'Em Back Alive" with Allen Sloan,MD on violin.

Another great fiddle recording is O'Conner & Stephane Grapppelli doing "Tiger Rag," on the Grappelli/Grisman Live WB BSK3550.
