You can see why he was a legend!

[enigmamelodies]

ON NEVER BEFORE-NEVER AGAIN Joe Venuti & Tony Romano played their hearts out.. Venuti's artistry on the violin is amazing and unquestionable. Guitar Magazine said. "Romano's skilled playing behind the legendary violinist is a textbook for acoustic jazz guitar accompaniment." Eddie Lang's guitar, was willed to Tony Romano. That about says it all. Except Romano was my dad! How great to see this video though! I remember Joe playing like this at my house. Check out my site.

Joe was my great uncle and when he visited my mom he listened to classical music which he new inside out.

[enigmamelodies]

@65attila Yes! Classically trained. Maybe that's what gave him that perfect tuning. When Joe played a note it was played. Perfect is the only word. I remember watching Joe play as a child. It amazed me those hands with those huge fingers could play such music straight from heaven. I was lucky enough to be in his home many times with my father and hear them play for hours. I heard magic every time. Dad actually started on the violin. They understood one another like brothers.

@enigmamelodies

Thanks for your kind comments. He had classical training and

was a musician to the core.

[enigmamelodies]

@65attila They come straight from the heart. Joe was a miracle. I was backstage with Stephane Grapelli (who considered himself first and foremost a pianist, many people don't know this) one night with my dad, and Grapelli very gracefully and humbly called Joe - 'Maestro.'

@65attila

I thought you might like to hear the my latest upload on my channel of your great uncle Joe with my dad on Autumn Leaves. Too bad I don't have real film of the original album or of the concert at the Great American Music Hall, but I have some very nice of the concert I made into a video. You'll hear all the classical Joe coming out.... Let me know what you think. I really enjoy your channel by the way.

[ChristianGastl]

Check OUR version in my channel and let me know how you like it! (;

[DaemonLordoftheWarp]

[TheDirtyChikens]

@DaemonLordoftheWarp my dad tol me that same thing and im not joking my names joey venuti 2 lol

[snorkelbda03]

He's the best. We just added our version of "Black and Blue Bottom" which was the first song Venuti recorded with Lang, and probably the first time people heard the 4 string trick. Take a look at us doing it on my page !

[MsSpecialGrl]

i always wanted to play the violin but never tried and he inspired a dead dream just by playing this...

[fiddlenut24]

never to late to learn

[Aoife222]

I have a hard enough time playing with the string on top of the strings. That's quite a trick.

[Mumblez5772]

venuti is one of the many jazz violinists that is too little known in our time

[millsbrothers]

FOR ME ITS STUFF AND JOE!!!!
