Thanks for sharing this.

It is worth tying to find some video of Stephane Grappelli playing, just to see his face. Mr. Grappelli ALWAYS played with a sweet smile on his face. When you see his smile and listen to his playing you UNDERSTAND what an expression of PURE JOY and PURE LOVE his playing was and also why it touches people so deeply. It is impossible for me to listen to his playing and now smile from the deepest and best part of my soul.. It is sweet, and sad and beautiful music to love by.. The joy he felt and put into his playing is one of the many reasons why his playing will always be loved and the genius of his playing will transcend time. I feel sad for ANYONE who gives this a thumbs down... They must have a terribly sad life.. His genius is from a time that will never exist again, and we are so luck to be able to hear beautifully restored recordings like this with just a couple of clicks, and for free...

[@hollydmccormick9362]

"DITTO" lol I loved hearing and witching a recoding of him playing and I agree with you, watching him was a joy, every time I would hear on the radio that I just missed him playing in Detroit the day after lol I always wanted to go back in time and hear and watch Art Tatum play the piano. One of his contemporary's said of him as he walked into a club that there are musicians here but God just walked in the door. I love all kinds of music , past decades well not so much the music of today..2020 with youtube I can go back in time my time and before and find so much fabulous music .

[@robertbernard6410]

[@davidhowells4692]

Sadly I never saw Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli play together. But I did see Stephane many times playing the student union bars in London the 1970's. THe first time I saw him live I could not believe just how good he and his band were. And he never stopped smiling,. All talk in the bar stopped and the 100 or so people inside just listened and smiled too. A beautiful man who played beautiful music.

[@ernestgouverneur2313]

Sitting here misty eyed because this music is so great.

[@rocketeerPM2500]

I had the privilege of seeing Grappelli live in concert in Sydney (Australia) in the 1970's. He performed with such warmth and energy. Django Reinhardt plays with the same flair. A style that warms your heart, from a priceless era in music. RIP maestros.

[@etiennefabiani9702]

So lucky u were

[@zeus-bx9xw]

He was certainly a treat to watch in concert. I saw him in the early 80's with Toots Thielemans in Seattle. What a wonderful set of performers. Such a memorable evening.

[@davidbrennan3713]

Can not get enough of Stephane Grappelli. Shame Django could not have been around longer.

[@redstarboy93]

Makes me laugh, read a book of french well known writer Marc Edouard Nabe, about Django (don't remember the title right now sorry). During all the book, he claims his hate for Grappelli in very hard words. Never understood why...

[@eviled2006]

Although this music is a little before my time, I so do appreciate it...what a contrast to the crap we have presented to us today! Long live great music!

[@eagle1ear]

Grappelli, sigh..... I actually got to hear him with Dave Grisman in a theater in Davenport, Iowa of all places (in 1982). It was wonderful. The thing that gives me wonder even now is realizing that he was already playing the violin a century ago and that he and Django formed their group ninety years ago!

[@rayreed5456]

My Dad loved jazz. He taped his albums, scratches and pops included, on an Akai reel to reel. He introduced me to Edwards and Grapelli. While working in Germany the early 80's I caught him playing a concert. He walked on stage like an old man marrionet lightly taking steps. Smiling he bowed, lifted his chin, tucked the violin in place, touched bow to strings and it was musical electricity until his last bow and waves to the audience. I still remember that concert at Freiburg in Breisgau.

[@timbeckman1134]

Django lives on in the memory of music future

[@OildaleKid]

My wife and I feel privileged to have attended an outdoor concert of Stephan Grappelli's at the Paul Mason Vineyards above San Jose sometime in the 80's, I think it was the 80's. We wanted to stay there all night but he just got to cold and couldn't take it anymore even though we had all moved all the space heaters around him while the rest of us froze. RIP Stephan, we still enjoy your music.

[@PastPerfectVintageMusic]

Wow, that must've been totally enthralling ! (But sadly cold)

[@mikeevans9691]

Listening to Django Reinhardt is pure unadulterated “ear candy”. He was only in his early 40’s when he passed away, but thank God he left us a legacy of wonderful jazz sounds including this delightful album, “I Got Rhythm” which includes “The Sheik of Arabis”.

[@davidwalker5054]

Mine as well. I'm a below average guitar player and for a laugh I looked up a trans ription for Djangos solo on the sheik of Araby. And it had written on the top. For intermediate players. Ha Ha​@@purpleduck9843

Nick, this is scarcely credible. I am your cosmic reduplicant from Planet Zwong, and yet I read your post within three minutes. Synchronicity or what? BTW, 'Earth' should have had an upper case 'E'. Despite this linguistic lapse on your part, I agree entirely about your assessment of Django.

[@skopox]

The sound Reinhardt made with only two fingers was not human. Grappelli was, with no doubt, the greatest jazz violonist of all times.

[@joeking1019]

couldn't agree more, an incredible trio, brings tears to my eyes listening to these exceptional musicians

[@store1584]

I'm sure he was from another more advanced planet. My idol for 48 years since finding an obscure album in a Boston discount store in 1970. I also feel that his liability is what made his melodic geneous possible. Using only two fingers, he could play in any direction from any note linearly, not in boxes like every other guitarist.

[@johnprice4635]

Saw Msq. Grapelli from 4th row in Madison, WI. Barbra K was next to me, in the Company of Angels.

[@seymourfroggs]

Three (fingers) but still!

[@orlandobustos274]

creo que el punto magico de tocar un instrumento es como diriamos a veces es hacerlo "hablar ". cuando django toca es como si estuviera contando una historia, de amor de pasion ,de romanse, alguna anecdota divertida. y hace pensar que los humanos podemos ser maravillosos como fue el .lo que el me transmite con la guitarra ,es como un viaje que nunca quiero que se termine. no hay otro por lo menos guitarrista que me transmita algo asi . fue el genio mas grande en guitarra y no creo que nadie lo supere por que superar lo perfecto no se puede. ensima dio ventaja por que zapaba con 2 dedos. el unico el dios gracias por a ver existido.
