Oh, I am in LOVE! 

Egon Egemann has blown me away with not only a very broad repertoire of playing styles (Classical, Jazz, different trad styles & popular), but a great voice & excellent technique on an extended number of violin/viola strings! 

He grew up in Austria, studied Classical & Jazz violin at the Graz Music Academy, then studied music here in the USA (Boston, MA), settled in Switzerland forming the Egon Family Orchestra & starting a solo career.  I've seen Egon also plays mandolin, guitar & accordion (maybe more) - he's quite the showman with a wonderful sense of humor. 

"You Can Groove!" - 6 strings!  Think I just found a fabulous luthier! 

 

Bet you never saw 'Orange Blossom Special' performed like in this performance (last tune)!

@stringy -

Egon plays many forms of Jazz, plus so much more - he's got a surprise around every corner!  ...love finding musicians comfortably playing so many kinds of music. 

Egon's Jacaranda Album is a wonderful, eclectic, mix of tunes!  The Album can be streamed from Amazon Prime, or Spotify for free (the link)!  Some Latin, Blues, Irish, Gypsy Jazz, Klezmer, Hip Hop - even a take on Pachelbel's Canon! 

 

 

 

Who needs a mandolin if you have a violin?

Okay, now I'm feeling really bad I got so carried away, I didn't even share some videos that were specifically for this thread. 😒 

 

Here's Egon's version of "Sweet Georgia Brown" - on a FIVE string fiddle! 

 

"Swing Waltz"! 

 

There's MANY more I like!  "Bergluft" reminds me of several songs, but this is enough. 😉
