Does anyone here play jazz violin? I would really like to expand my repertoire beyond the generally accepted 'classical' pieces, but have no idea where to start! Or, maybe there's something else I could look into? Any ideas greatly appreciated!

Folk?

Oh, I should have mentioned that I already have a fair amount to do with Scottish/Irish folk music. Thanks for replying though!

i don't actually know anything about jazz violin, but the people i know who do seem to spend a lot of time listening to stuff with headphones and then memorising it, singing it, and playing it....
how about bluegrass? have you listened to joshua bell and edgar meyer on "short trip home"?

Yes and I teach it too! At home, at workshops and on a university jazz module! Where do you live?
