I don't know about his album with Gismonti.
This is a title track from his first album with Garbarek, Vision, ECM 1983.

Hi,
 
Sorry ... typo. Meant to say Garbarek, not Gismonti.

Hey all. I've been coming here for a while without an account and finally decided to make one, so I figured I might as well post up in one of the forums!

I play electric violin in a band called Clouds On Strings (http://music.cloudsonstrings.com), and I recently realized that I need more string artists in this style of music from whom I can learn and draw inspiration. If anybody has any suggestions for prog bands of any type who have a violinist or other string players, I would love to take a listen!

Thanks in advance for any insight! I can't wait to hear some new music.

Kansas and Electric Light Orchestra are the only ones that i could come up with.

At the other end of the state from you, there's the five-piece prog band, 'Karl?', in Long Beach.  I've seen them live several times, and the woman on violin cooks it up, often, in their songs.  They've got a CD just out: 'The Universe', plus another very cool cut from an earlier local compilation.  If you can't find them, let me know.  Well worth a listen.

Only with David Cross and he wasn't there for long LOL

I've never noticed much violin in Gentle Giant but I'm sure it's in there somewhere. It just doesn't seem to be an instrument that stands out much in there music imo.

Also there was a band who I don't believe has been mentioned yet called The Flock which featured a pre Mahavishnu Jerry Goodman if I'm not mistaken.

Off the top of my head…

Black Cat, Funny Ways, A Reunion, So Sincere, Mobile, Empty City, Sweet Georgia Brown, On Reflection (live version).

Actually, it seems like there’s maybe one track per album that prominently features violin.

I don’t think anyone mentioned Christoph “Nops” Noppeney of Hoelderlin, a band that’s way overlooked here.

Did anyone mention Dixie Dregs with Jerry Goodman (Flock, Mahavishnu Orchestra)?  I saw this band in the 1990's, they were scary good!!  I was close enough to Goodman to have pulled the cord out of his electric violin.
