Violin in Jazz, part 2
Whilst no-one questions the position of the fiddler in any kind of folk band, the jazz violinist constantly has to justify himself in the face of sceptics who believe that they should stick to either Bach or barndances. The violin is still not widely seen as being a natural instrument for swing, despite a history going back to the early days of Jazz.
We are featuring some great jazz violin players – from Grappelli, Darol Anger, Bill Bang, Mark Feldman, Noel Pointer, Regina Carter…..
