Grappelly was timeless and delivers an excellent set of performances in this video. Nice job.
This album is a great combination of two amazing musicians. I love it. It was nice and cheap too, especially for such a quality album.
Had this LP for years and am glad to have the CD now. Wonderful.
I've been listening to both of the recordings David Grisman made with Stephan Grappelli - this one - the live session, and 'Hot Dawg' - the equally incredible studio session with Eddie Gomez on bass on a number of tracks, since their release in the early '80's. This is the type of music to which one never stops listening - always exciting - though easy and smooth - always new shades of the riffs revealed. I was gratified to see this recording as high up in Amazon's ratings after all these years - sort of verifying for me by way of vox populi what I've felt for over a quarter century now - this was one of the best groups ever - emminently listenable - fun - and they really cook.
A magical live concert of early Dawg Jazz featuring the greatest jazz violinist of all, the immortal Stephane Grappelli.For anyone who likes David Grisman's playing, this disc is not to be missed. For anyone who likes Gypsy jazz, ditto. Four young string virtuosos--Dawg, Mark O'Connor, Mike Marshall, and Rob Wasserman--and one sexegenarian from Montmartre produced one of the greatest concert recordings back in 1979. The music has lost nothing in the nearly 30 years since.
