Weekend Extra: Two Violins With "Four Brothers"

Not bad, but two words: Joe Venuti.

These two are as close as I have heard string players to getting the
feeling in jazz phrasing and accent, but there's something out of synch
between them and the bass player (whose playing is further spoiled by
amplification) that makes it hard to determine if the rhythmic
discomfort is in the violin playing or in the rhythm section.

New York studio violinist, Harry Lookofsky, was also very good at this
kind of thing. Unfortunately, some high profile string ensembles
(Turtle Island Quartet) are considerably further from jazz "truth" than
these two.

That's some phabulous phiddling... phantastic!
