Stephane Grappelli - 85 And Still Swinging '1993

Tracks list

At the age of 85 Stephane Grappelli was still a master of the violin, as proven
during this 1993 concert at Carnegie Hall in honor of his landmark birthday
(which he had celebrated the previous January 26th). With bassist Jon Burr and
guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli, Grappelli revisits a number of old favorites,
including a lively take of All Gods Chillun Got Rhythm, an easygoing Honeysuckle
Rose, and a gently swinging Limehouse Blues. There are no surprises, just great
music from the master. Several tracks feature the Rosenberg Trio (in their
American recording debut), a fine Gypsy trio (2 guitars and a bass) that
Grappelli first heard at the 1991 Montreal Jazz Festival and invited to join him
on stage. All six men take part in the enjoyable finale of Sweet Georgia Brown.
