I have not, really.

I am a listener, and I might have heard Joe Venuti before I heard
Grapelly.  Later came Stuff Smith, Svend Asmussen and Eddie South.  I
like the sound of the violin in general.

I liked all those Jonathan Russell videos; shortcomings -sure, he is
still young, but I was amazed by how he could hold his own with elder
statesmen.

Who are they?  I've never heard of them.  Have you heard Tim Kliphuis?
