Really, If you want to get a secure foothold on Jazz Improv on the Violin, the basic Bugle call in Bb is the first place to start. It gives you a framework to see, feel and hear the Major Triad in all it's inversions, starting on the Fifth. If you also learn it in the Relative Minor, you will have a Gateway to everything from Bach to Gershwin to Blakey. Check out Barny Wilen's ( a French Saxophonist) interpretations of Minor Swing from Jazz Sur la Seine & Dangerous Liaisons with Art Blakey. This incredibly gifted and mostly unknown Saxophonist was influenced by Steph & Django, Charles Trenet, Charlie Parker & Miles Davis, John Coltrane, George Gershwin and Cole Porter. Dangerous Liaisons is also know as "No Problem" It is a Minor Blues with a Bridge, very playable on the violin and has a little Tag of a Blues Lick that is a Nod to the 2nd Four Notes of I Got Rhythm. So it gives you an Idea of how to play Bluesy Licks that aren't based on the Blues Scale. Dig? Cheers, Jack

I love those tunes. But tell me, do Jazz people like to play Western Swing tunes like "Right or Wrong", "Old Fashioned Love".

I think there are some early jazz fiddlers who crossover with those sort of tunes, Iv only ever heard “old fashioned love” called at a jazz jam in the states. It was called by a fiddler who played both jazz and old time.

Check out George Washingmachine. He's an Aussie Jazz Violinist who has a Lot of Stuff Smith in his playing, but also plays a lot of Western Swing. Further more, Charlie Christian was a Huge fan of Bob Wills & the Texas Playboys ( got this from a PhD thesis I found online). Charlie got hep to Django and Steph through jamming with the Playboys. He took that to Benny Goodman ( who he was said to have remarked "Benny can't Swing") and later to Minton's. So all those cats got hip to Gypsy Jazz through Charlie. You can actually hear a lot of Django in Thelonious Monk's Tunes. I myself couldn't get any records of Django & Steph when I first started out, so I started learning Charlie Parker by ear (very difficult) and Charlie Christian from "Solo Flight" a book of transcriptions. But My brother bought me a Bob Will's album for Christmas "For the Last time". That is where I learned how to Swing. I learned every tune off that Album and every instrument. If you want to hear some outrageous Bebop check out Buddy Emmons, a Pedal Steel Player who is Off the Charts. Saw him live back in the day. Western Swing got it's name when a Texas Swing band led by Spade Cooley beat Benny Goodman's band in a Band against Band duel out in California. The radio announcer was so taken aback that he coined the term "Western Swing" on the spot.
