Stephane Grappelli by Gary Burton

Earlier today I was recalling my experiences with French jazz violinist Stephane Grappelly. I made one recording with Stephane and while it is far from earth-shattering, it remains a sentimental favorite of mine. I met Stephane rather serendipitously at a Newport Jazz Festival, and at the time I knew very little about him. I associated his name with the Hot Club of France, a legendary French jazz group led by guitarist Django Reinhardt, a group that came to fame in the 1930's and ended in 1939 because of World War II .
