modern bowed gut players?

Gang-
Who can be heard using bowed gut strings these days, on recordings? I'm looking for modern players, not in the classical scene, though.
thanks...

Most of the recent Rufus Reid stuff has him bowing on gut. For a long time he was using Oliv's, and now he uses Velvet Anima.

I was at a workshop with Arnie Somogyi and he said he had used gut strings on recordings.

I just remembered a cd that came out a few years ago featuring Harvie Swarz(he is now known as Harvie S.)I don't think I spelled his name right & I know he is sensitive about it,so I apologize in advance.Anyway the cd is called "Love Notes From the Bass",& has some excellent playing on it-mostly originals by the pianist but written for bass-sort of Ellington- Blanton style but not quite so jazzy.The liner notes make a point of the fact that Harvie plays gut strings.It's worth checking out.He's definitely a player.
