He utilized the full range of the violin, from low rich tones to the high, ethereal sounds near the bridge. . . The melody of the popular song "Wild Cat" was completely transformed through Venuti's ingenious improvisation on its underlying chord structure. Author Katharine Rapoport included the piece as recommended listening "to really get your head (and ears) around jazz music". Andy Stein is also noted for a virtuoso performance of the same piece.
