Sultans of String

The description of their music

Atomic world-jazz-flamenco combining the sounds of Chris McKhool's lush, lyrical Gypsy-jazz violin with Kevin Laliberte's rhythm-fueled flamenco-inspired guitar playing for a wild improvised musical journey. Bassist Drew Birston energizes the groove with adventurous Latin, jazz and folk rhythms.

would likely have sent Mark Twain on a adjectival killing spree, but the music itself is anything but homicidal. So for those of you who would like some string after a swinging sing sing sing, the Sultans of String have some free listening at their website.
