Tracy Silverman is a violinist I met way back when I got a group together called the Balkan Brazilian Project in 1995.

He played incredible then and still does now. He produced a Paul Hanson album that never came out but we had a lot of fun doing it. I keep learning from this guy's fantastic music and and his example. Being a fellow freak on a classical instrument-it's always educational to see what he's done and how he's gone about being one of the top electric violinists in the world. His site is www.tracysilverman.com-his improvisations on the album here are brief but scary good.
