Think about this. Four instruments, twenty strings, eight hands, and what a wonderful amount of music that came from putting that together with accomplished musicians.

When Grappelli made the violin cry, I did, too. And when he walked over to the white piano and played everything that was in my soul, I was hooked forever. What a beautiful and talented gentleman.

I think it takes time to understand the genious of these masters, time that many people don't have. If you are dissatisfied with the system or the music business, start a revolution. If you have better things to do, then at least try to understand other people's perspective and try to find ways to open their ears so they can understand your perspective better. Nostalgia never brought anyone anywhere, understanding can bring us miles ahead (no pun intended).

They got a standing ovation most people in the audience didn’t know that Distel had been voted France’s top jazz guitarist four years running.

Their joy in playing...their delicious mastery of nuance, their ability to find the passion and value in each note...unsurpassed. I have been, what? A fan, since the forties when I heard these strains from a candlelit window on my pre-dawn paper route in the little steel town of Midland, PA. God bless that mysterious happening that kept me standing transfixed for many minutes until winter chill ...and my "work" drove me on. I searched, how many? record shops and libraries until my impassioned inquiries found an informed hearer, and my ears and soul were united with Stephane, Django and their loving companions.
