Here is another one that is from 1957 and it is short but sweet. I saw Stephane Grappelli back in the late 80s and he was old but full of fire. He wasn't old during this recording but he was great back then too.

Thanks for posting a Grappelli boot!
ReplyDeleteI shook hands with David Grisman after a DGQ show and told him what a pleasure it was to meet one of the great jazz violinist's friends and playing partners.
Too bad Stephane and Dawg and Jerry Garcia never recorded together. Or will that be your next surprise post?
Thanks for the great vintage jazz, AZ. It will never be old, always vintage. All the best to you.
