I've been playing the violin for roughly 10 years and I've already been through most of the training that most conservatory players go through (Paganini, Rode, etc) so I feel that I have some decent technical ability. I'm getting a little tired of just playing classical music and I'd like to try some jazz violin. I really can't afford to take a class at the nearest conservatory (Peabody), and I haven't been able to find anything online to help me get started....

Can anyone help me out? I haven't the slighest clue on how to get started...
 
Wow, jazz violin... I guess a good place to start might be to listen to some jazz violin (though I personally have NEVER heard jazz violin despite being a jazz fan, WBGO member, etcetc.)
Check out the All Music Guide and punch in jazz violin? I'm thinking just understanding jazz itself will help you out... there's a lot of method for just that... shoot, some of the avante garde stuff I won't even pretend to understand.😕
 
Be sure to check out Stefan Grappelli. He was the best. Another I used to listen to is Jean Luc Ponty.
 
Yup I've finished those and getting a little tired with classical repetiore

anyone with any more info? I don't really know where to start
