And how about Halloween?
I avoided this one for a long time because of its "lesser" reputation. But I finally broke down and got it, and I also like it a lot. It's not that out of step with his classic material. I wouldn't put it at the top of that list, but I'm glad I have it and actually spin it a lot becuase it's one I'm not so intimately familiar with like his other albums.
Yes, Evan Garr. I saw him with DiMeola a few years ago, and he was the star of the show in many ways. Amazing player, would love to see him do a challenging fusion album of his own, but he seems to be content in the side-man role.

^^^^^ That's nice.

If we are extending this to viola, then Geoff Richardson with Caravan fits the bill.

Nostalgia, you know, ain't what it used to be. Furthermore, they tells me, it never was.

Kansas
A lot of their albums, actually. Chris Karrer’s violin playing is always a joy to listen to.
I wasn’t aware they ever used a violin, but I still have not heard the first.
Was it Karen Briggs? I know she played alongside Stan on the Vertú album, and she was superb. Regrettably, she’s probably best known for her work with Yanni (what the Hell? It pays the bills!).

No one's mentioned Quella Vecchia Locanda?
American teenager, Don Lax, played violin on the debut.
Claudio Filice took over marvelously on Il Tempo Della Gioia.
Also recommended for violin lovers: Asturias. Their last five or six records have had the great Tei Sena on violin. Amazing tone. Great player.
But I'll always reach for Kansas first when I want some violin Prog!!!
The Prog Corner
Amarok, folk prog band from Spain, does not have a violinist as a band member, but every one of their albums has a violinist as a guest on some tracks.

I don't think anyone mentioned Big Big Train.

didn't know he'd done solo albums, but it makes sense
Third album only.... and before that he was in Catherine Ribeiro + Alpes and moved afterwards onto Pierre Moerlen's Gong (or the other way around, can't remember)
great stuff... I'll look more into it
According to RYM, these guys were from Canterbury, but completely escaped from my radar.

Gizmo even called their label Canterbury Records: http://www.gizmo.uk.com/discography.html
