Cavernism

Earl Hines swings "Cavernism" with a violin solo. Unfortunately, it's too brief but it shows a jazz violinist of equal refinement as those of Grappelli. Despite its brevity, this is a wonderful example of the best in swing during the early 1930s. I am ashamed to admit I have not properly listened to Earl Hines, a pivotal figure in the history of jazz piano. 

Armando's Rhumba

 

 A personal favorite from Chick Corea's Latin-inspired album, My Spanish Heart. Jean-Luc Ponty's violin playing is spectacular and brings to mind some of the best Cuban music.
