Stephane Grappelli is one of the finest violin players you will ever hear. This is a real nice recording with David Grisman and Tony Rice on the last five tracks. I was blessed to see Garppelli at the Hollywood Bowl around this same time period and I was blown away.Stephane Grappelli Group

ReplyDeleteBack in 1978, I heard some great jazz violin on NPR and fired up the TEAC recorder to catch it. It turned out to be Grisman doing his then-new "King of the Gypsies" music with Grappelli, also some Diz Disley, and Grappelli playing solo piano. In 1984, I transferred what I had to cassette, editing out the talk. Today, I listened to it again and wondered if the whole show was available anywhere. No luck commercially, then I found this site. Incredible to have an entire show, but there are different solos, despite arrangement and ambience being the same. I assume that I must have caught a different night back in 1978.
ReplyDeleteNow I have all MP3s tagged and available on my Plex system. Thanks!
