Andrew Bird is a Chicago based singer / songwriter / violinist.
He's amazing.
His first couple of CDs are very swing, jazz, blues based.
He doesn't write down any music but records in a 'jam' type fashion (usually in one or two takes) to keep the feeling live.
His later recordings are more pop orientated and whilst they are good aswell I prefer his early work.
I suggest a listen to 'Thrills' or 'Oh! The Grandeur'.
