Vinyl Vault: Stephane Grappelli, Afternoon in Paris
The next Vinyl Vault will feature a 1971 album from master jazz violinist, Stephane Grappelli (1908 – 1997) entitled “Afternoon in Paris.” The album was released on the PAUSA Records label.
It’s a swinging, yet relaxed session. The backing musicians set that mood throughout: Eberhard Weber on bass, Mark Hemmeler on piano, and Kenny Clare on drums. The album features a tasteful selection of jazz standards such as “Tangerine,” “Autumn Leaves,” and the title track.
Grappelli got his start playing in the Hot Club of France before World War II, playing with the gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt. Grappelli spent World War II in England, but Reinhardt went to Paris. While in England, Grappelli met pianist George Shearing and played with him extensively. Following the war, Grappelli and Reinhardt played together off and on until Reinhardt died in 1953. After that, Grappelli gigged with many different jazz musicians, establishing a name for himself.
Join Geoff Anderson for the next Vinyl Vault, Tuesday, April 7, at 8:30 p.m. on KUVO JAZZ.
