    Few and far betwwen...

    ...are the jazz fiddlers besides Jean Luc Ponty. You might want to try Tim Kliphuis or Didier Lockwood. Two of Lockwood's efforts are Storyboard and A Tribute to (Stephane) Grapelli. It's possible Joe Venuti did something later in his life, but I can't verify that.

    Inkeeping with the spirit of the thread...

    Okay, that attachment worked about as well as a bible in a crackhouse...

    ...anyway just search YouTube for Didier Lockwood and you should get some hits.

    Stephane Grapelli (the violinist in the clip) continued to record that style of jazz up until his death in '97...Django died much earlier (early 50s?). It's amazing what Reinhardt could do with only two good fingers on his left hand...

    There are albums like Djangology that embody the style and include SGs violin work...and Grapelli has his own catalog that's none too shabby...

    ...ain't it!

    I think he could evoke more feeling with his muted wocka-jawoka in the opening of Voodoo Child than some guitarists can with an entire piece...

    Hafta' wonder if the stupid SOB hadn't have more or less killed himself what he might have become...

    I did a search over at AMG and found lots of stuff, and yes, he was quite prolific until his death. I will be looking into this one.

    And thanks for the YouTube link.

    I'll look into Venuti. Funny, years ago when I enquired about jazz violinists I only got Jean Luc Ponty as a reference and I didn't find him engaging at all. In fact, his electric violin should be outlawed. I find it to be completely grating.
