Elek Bacsik (22 May 1926 -- 14 February 1993)[1] was a Hungarian-born American jazz violinist and guitarist.
Bacsik was born in Budapest, the son of Arpad Bacsik and Erzsebet Pocsi. He was of Romani ethnicity and probably studied at the Budapest Conservatory, but found his primary musical inspiration in bebop pioneers Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker. He worked in Paris in the early 1960s and in Las Vegas starting in 1967. Bacsik recorded on guitar on Gillespie's Dizzy on the French Riviera (1962) and later appeared on violin with Gillespie at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1974. His bebop violin playing is featured on his two albums as a leader, I Love You (1974) and Bird and Dizzy: A Musical Tribute (1975)

I didn't know him until I saw him with Gainsbourg, dam he is really "underrated".

You can see him on some vids comping for Gainsbourg...as for violin,he was an amazing player: I saw him play both ,violin and guitar couple of years before he left this world and his violin playing was outstanding...we used to chat sometimes
and I would say violin was his first choice...he'd study all the time (Aebersold methods) and yes, bop was his thing;yet he loved to pull out some pieces from classical repertoire(Bach) playing clubs;left me a tape of him playing both gt @ violin.Great Elek
