Violinist Stephane Grappelli will forever be remembered as musical partner to the immortal Django Reinhardt--certainly not a bad thing, except that it conveniently overlooks the nearly half-century's worth of music that Grappelli made without the Gypsy guitar great. When this one-hour performance was recorded in 1989, the elegant, urbane Frenchman was already in his 80s, but he had lost none of his exceptional technique and flair. He's joined here by two exceptional guitarists (Martin Taylor and Marc Fosset) and a bassist; the lineup is much like that of the original Reinhardt-Grappelli Hot Club quintet, and they even play some of that group's standard material ("Honeysuckle Rose," "Daphne"), along with more modern fare like Stevie Wonder's "You Are the Sunshine of My Life" and Chick Corea's "Armando's Rhumba." Smooth, suave, and swinging, this is jazz with a distinctly European touch, and a pure delight from start to finish. --Sam Graham
Description
There are not many jazz musicians who perform for over a half century and manage to retain the youthful exuberance of Stephane Grappelli. Proof lies in this video performance shot in a New Orleans French Quarter club. All you need to do is watch Stephane's face as the legendary violinist and three young European musicians, Martin Taylor, guitar, Patrice Caratini, bass, and Marc Fosset, guitar, gracefully romp through a wealth of jazz standards. Tracks: Cheek to Cheek, Love for Sale, Shine, Are You in the Mood, Armando Rhumba, I Got Rhythm, Someone to Watch Over Me, I Get a Kick Out of You, You Are the Sunshine of My Life, After You've Gone, Ol' Man River, Sweet Georgia Brown, Honeysuckle Rose, Daphne.
