Hi, Rory...man, this sounds like FUN!. The best young jazz violinist I know is a kid named Zachary Brock, the son of a long-time friend and jazz trumpeter here in Lexington. He went to school with my son, finished his music degree in Chicago and now lives in New York city. He currently works producing his own solo albums and with the old John McGlauhlin Maharisnee (sp) Orchestra. He's a great kid, a trust fund guy, so he can afford to devote his time to his music career and a dynamite player.
He comes home frequently and blows everyone away with his pure talent. I'm, sure you can Google his name to have a listen. I'll ask his dad for contact information if you're interested.

Zak is a joy to be around!

Good luck!
