Hi!

apart from all the violinists mentioned, one mustn't forget the 
recordings that Django Reinhardt made himself on violin, during WW2, 
I think, off the top of my head.

Also, nobody seems to have mentioned the Swedish Jazz violinist, 
Svend Asmussen.
At least, if he was mentioned, I missed it.
Also...was Eddie South mentioned?

I'm personally rather fond of the Ray Nance violin solos within the 
Duke Ellington recordings, especially those made in the early 40s.

Earl.
