Blues, Jazz, Rock Violinists?

Thanks all.
Marty - Seems like our musical tastes might be similar or at least overlap. Appreciate your advice. Very much a Karl/World Party fan. Yet, not 100% sure on the connection to violin. I'll look at Wikipedia.

Do know the Gatemouth name. I will look for violin related stuff.

Jobson is who I was thinking of with the UK reference. Did not realize he did time w/Roxy.

Rnm4 - THANK YOU. In my head I was thinking there is someone with a name similar to Django Reinhardt (sp?) but on violin. (well you'd have to be in my head to imagine any possible similarity in the names). Don't think they were really contemporaries but Stephane is who I couldn't recall. Good reminder.

Bdgregory - will check out Cross and Urbaniak. Always admired the musicianship of the various King Crimson lineups (though the name is kind of creepy).

FWIW...check out"The Blindman's Blues Forum" (see "the Best Blues Rock Violinist" thread). If it works, a link is here...

Found Charles Burnham from this site. Played w/James "Blood" Ulmer (and JBU opens a whole new path of exploration for me).

Thanks again to all.

I have Regina Carter, Billy Bang and several by Grappelli.
I love Grappelli, Billy Bang is good also. But Jazz violin is just not my thing. But they are great artists.

Stephane Grapelli has done a lot of fabulous jazz performances.

Stefan Grapelli's work with Django Rheinhardt.

If you like this I can make more recommendations.
