One of my favourite instruments in progressive music, along with Cello. Some quick favourites, and obvious choices, Crim's Larks' Tongue, Mahavishnu Orchestra (Jerry Goodman and Jean-Luc Ponty both eras), lots of PFM.
I think Cross's contribution to Larks' Tongue is underrated. I find his playing is sublime. I have been listening to the new PFM live disc (Paper Charms) and the violin is a perfect match for the melting pot of instruments. What would MO be without Goodman/Ponty?
What say you?
